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.

Are these packets causing problems in AP mode?
How are you getting notified of these packets?
How is AP mode configured on the RAXE? Dynamic or Static configuration? I recommend using Static.
What is the brand and model# host router that the RAXE is being connected too?
