1. Perform one of the following tasks to select the VLAN on which STP or RSTP will be configured:
• On the VLAN View tab, expand the list of VLANs and select one or multiple VLANs on which
STP or RSTP will be configured.
• On the Product View tab, expand the product, product group, or IP subnet folder that
contains the products on which the VLAN you want is configured. Then expand the entry to
display its VLAN and select the VLAN where STP or RSTP will be configured. You can select
more than one VLAN from this tab.
For either view, you can use the Search tool to look for the VLAN on which STP or RSTP will be
configured.

The parameters display differently depending on whether the STP configuration is at the
product, VLAN, or port level.
Either of these methods enables the STP button on the VLAN Manager dialog box.
