Default VLAN settings (i.e. all ports on same vlan). I need to:<BR />1) enable port 17 &amp; 18 on both switches<BR />2) enable STP. I am assuming RSTP would be what I need to use. Never configured STP before, is there anything specifically I need to do?<BR /><BR />I also have 2 switches in bay 5 &amp; 6, and would then do the same configuration as per above for these 2. Bay 5 &amp; 6 are used for external connectivity to other networks.
