Enabling STP on RT-AX88U

[ciprian.trofin]

To enable STP on router - do I have to do something else than go admin interface - Advanced Settings - LAN - Switch Control - Spanning-Tree Protocol - ENABLE ?

I'm asking because if I SSH the router and enter

brctl show

I get

bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br0             8000.3c7c3fdc4558       no              eth1
                                                        eth2
                                                        eth3
                                                        eth4
                                                        eth5
                                                        eth6
                                                        eth7

Is STP enabled or not ?

Try doing it manually.

brctl stp br0 on

@eibgrad: thank you.

I did as you instructed me and I think it works - Wireshark running on a laptop (wirelessly connected to network) shows STP packets when STP is enabled manually (via brctl); the STP packets stop showing when the STP is disabled with

brctl stp br0 off

I don't know if it solves my underlying problem (not discussed here), but hey! at least I can see STP packets flowing

However, it also looks like:
1. there are no STP packets flowing when STP is enabled only via Switch Control; bug, maybe?
2. rebooting the router disables STP; is there any way to enable it at boot time?

May very well be a bug. If manually enabling it works, I suppose you could add the command as an init-start script.
