I have a bridged customer with a device sending out rSTP. They have a dedicated port on the Mikrotik router at our tower and all the ports on the Mikrotik are currently bridged (I’m working my way through routing the network but it’s a long process and occasionally involves visiting far away customers).. Is there a bridge filter or other setting I can apply to block or ignore the rSTP coming from their device or that specific port?
On your router with the customer’s bridge port, you could try changing the settings on edge from “auto” to “yes”. This may tell your router to ignore the BPDUs coming from that port.
Thank you. Seems to have worked.
Router with root bridge quickly came back
“Error discarding BFD packet: interface not found” with the source IP of the offending customer Mikrotik.
Wireshark is no longer showing STP topology changes every few seconds either.
Now I just need to figure out how to put this customer on a VLAN
