To configure infrastructure switches in LAN A and LAN B, follow these steps.
1.
Set the jumbo MTU size to 1506.
a. From the Admin menu, choose MTU.
b. In the Jumbo MTU field, type 1506 and click Submit.
2.
On each switch port that connects to an end device, enable the PortFast
feature for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
a. From the Configure menu, choose STP Settings.
b. Click the PortFast tab.
c. In the Per-Interface PortFast Table, check Enable PortFast next to
each port that connects to an end device.

If you encounter problems accessing Device Manager, web browsing, or using
remote desktop on a switch, verify the MTU size for frames. The jumbo MTU
size must be set to 1506 for all switches in LAN A and LAN B.
If you cannot access Device Manager, use one of following methods to access
the switch:
•
.
•
Use a computer-to-switch connection with a straight-through or
crossover Category 5 Ethernet cable.
