Help with STP on GS748TP
I've been having problems with a SONOS system which has wired players to my Netgear GS748TP switch. SONOS support has given some advice on setting STP on the switch to help resolve the problem.
They've asked me to enable STP and to ensure that BPDU is set to Flooding. Problem is when I select Flooding and then enable STP, the BPDU reverts to Filtering. I cannot get the switch to adopt BPDU Flooding.
Can anyone suggest why and what I'm doing wrong?
Many Thanks
The solution presented by SONOS applies to managed switch and not smart switches. I suggest you to open a chat / case online on NETGEAR support and please let them know the status of the switch and escalate the case if needed.

Hi Andyh747,
Welcome to our community! :)
I also read that when it comes to connecting SONOS system in NETGEAR switches, you may need to enable the classic STP and enable BPDU to flooding. May you please try to update the firmware first of the switch to its latest version and then try to set it up again?
Regards,
Thanks for reply.
Switch already running latest firmware. Have tried classic STP but I am unable to select Flooding with STP enabled. Tried everything but as soon as you select STP the switch defaults to Filtering rather than Flooding.
