Configure CST Port Settings
Use the CST Port Configuration page to configure Common Spanning Tree (CST) and
Internal Spanning Tree on a specific port on the switch.
To configure CST port settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 14.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.

• To configure multiple interfaces with the same settings, select the check box
associated with each interface.
