In general, STP should not be enabled on ports, which are intended for dedicated
stations. Shared media do not have the same problem, because the port will stay
attached to the Hub, even though all stations have closed.
Another reason for not enabling STP on dedicated ports is, that the whole network

trashed. The result is a lot of unknown station broadcasts, before the tables
converge again.
To disable STP on a port, select the STP Mode Forwarding for this port. Refer to
the “STP Mode” parameter on page 71.
