Hi:
We are about to test some infrastructure changes in our datacenter and my datacenter provider asked me to protect the uplink port of our core switch so we don't affect their router in case we cause a loop (or some other configuration error).
Right now our switch is configured as it came out of the box.
I see some options that seem helpful but I'm not sure which one should I configure to protect them from me.I
'm not very familiar with switch configurations (newbie here!).
I'm attaching some images of the parameter that i think I should enable
- Image HP_MSTP_1:
Network -> MSTP -> Global -> BPDU Protection
Should I enable this globally?- Image HP_MSTP_2:
Network -> MSTP -> Port Setup -> Protection
I have a list of options here: Edged Port, Root Protection , Loop Protection
I'd appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction.
- Image HP_MSTP_2:
Thanks in advance!
