GS324TP switch errors - Discarding the BPDU - Invalid Forward Delay
My GS324TP switch is getting flooded with errors every few seconds as shown in the attached screen capture. I have narrowed this down and the errors only occur when if have the Netgear Orbi RBR50 at...
These Orbi systems make use of STP, require STP properly configured (STP [resp RSTP, it's compatible] and define a prio aka ID of 32768 on switches supporting STP/RSTP/MST. Reads like no STP or RSTP is configured and enabled on the switch, and forward BPDU with STP disabled isn't enabled - so the switch does filter the STP traffic.
The old Orbi was getting shut down on the switch port. The switch was shutting down the port because it thought that it was getting a DOS attach. I upgraded to a new RBK750 and I am still getting flooded with the same "Discarding the BPDU, since it is an invalid BPDU type" error. any ideas? what could be causing this is STP is turned on?
