nortal BNT Layer 2/3 switch - enable ports , spanning tree

telnet to switch as admin

telnet <switch address>

password (default) is 'admin'.

======

Disable EXT1 port first:

/oper/port EXT1 dis

The command to turn off spanning tree is :

/c/l2/stg 1 /off

Enable EXT1 port now:

/oper/port EXT1 ena

See the spanning tree turned off in the listing below.  The network port from Gigabit ethernet Linksys connects to Cisco network.  I will test other configurations tomorrow.
