RAXE500 - Disable BPDU?
Hello, I have an RAXE500 (AXE11000) router that I'm trying to set up as an access point. However, I've been notified that it's sending BPDU packets. Is there a setting to disable this or any spec...

There a brand and model# of the switch?
Is this RAXE in a business? If so, RAX routers are not really meant for business or enterprise networking environments.
There is no user configuration options for BPDU features as we presume this is a FW item handled at the FW level. Would be nothing to change.
Can make contact with NG support to let them know otherwise.
Suggesting finding a different wireless AP that meets the network policy and requirements and doesn't have BPDU packets.
