Orbi STP/BPDU errors
Hi - looking for some information about how Orbi uses the STP/BPDU protocols. Can't find any via google, so hoping that someone here knows more. I am using an Orbi RBK50 in AP mode plugged into ...
It's been a while since I updated this thread as life interfered, but thought I would provide an update for those interested.
1. I have tried the various suggestions for blocking STP at that port of the edgeswitch without any success. I believe I am following the instructions from the ubiquiti support correctly, but there is no change in behavior. That said, the advice from the ubiquiti site is that blocking the STP commands on that port will result in marginal if any improvements in performance, so I have decided to stop pursuing this issue until when/if Orbi firmware with ethernet backhaul support is released. (I continue to assume this will involve changed STP functionality on the Orbi side, but we shall see.)
2. I have installed my Sonos system. About a dozen components, some wired and some wireless. Amazingly enough, everything just worked with no attempt to do anything other than install the speakers using the sonos app.
Thanks for the various comments and help, I look forward to paying it forward.

Just an FYI. I get the same errors on my UNIFI switch with R8000's connected and configured as an AP.
