BPDU/STP Errors
I am experiencing BPDU/SPT errors on from my Orbi. This causes my Netgear GS324 switch to lock out the port administratively. To recover I must then manually re-enable the port. The Orbi is conne...
The OP must talk about the S350 Series GS324T or GS324TP, neither the unmanaged GS324, nor a GS324E model variant.
Best guess, there is some rate limit configured on the port why ever, this isn't the problem here.
In connection with Orbi, there is no other choice than using the (off-standard!) legacy STP and define a prio aka ID of 32768 on switches supporting STP/RSTP/MST.
What happens is that the Orbi STP - core part of the Orbi design - does override the (undoubted technically better) Gigabit Ethernet backhaul so the switch will close the port to avoid a loop.
Relevant is the information that STP and RSTP is valid for the complete network layout, and isn't restricted to a VLAN like the much more advanced MST (requiring more know-how to configure) and offering RSTP at the edge. Said that - Orbi == STP only.
Edit. Interesting are the logs do talk about MST (MSTID) - is the switch configured to operate with it? What Orbi model and firmware version are we facing here? Is this a set-up which worked before, or was the switch added recently, or was it reconfigured?
My apologies, you are correct. the device is a GS324T S350 Series 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch
Orbi is
Hardware Version RBR50
Firmware Version V2.3.5.30 / GUI Language Version V1.0.0.375
It was working previously, with a Cisco SRW2024 switch. No idea if STP was enabled as the console never functioned properly and I used it as if it was a dumb switch. The port being disabled begain with the GS324T.STP Config is as follows:
Use the Choose File button on your post to attached the picture file. Forum mods have to approved embedded pictures.
Check the IGMP setting on these switches. Been said to disable this helped correct wire connected RBS to these switches between the RSS and RBR.
Test a non managed switch if you can to compare...
You a little behind on FW. v16 works well with ethernet connected RBS and non managed switches.
