Using Netonix w/ AF, Unifi Switches, and STP

[ashgray13]

At our local ISP, our company has a dumb switch that connects to a Ubiquiti AirFiber radio that points to its counterpart AF radio at our company location a few miles away. The AF radio at our company location is currently connected to a Unifi Switch.

We want to replace the dumb switch at the ISP with a Netonix WISP switch with STP enabled. Will this setup still work with the Unifi Switch at our location that automaticallly uses STP, or should we replace the Unifi switch with a switch that doesn't use STP or has the option to disable it?

Basically, will 2 switches with STP enabled still talk to each other correctly?

Thanks!!

So long as UBNT followed the industry standard which I am sure they did STP / RSTP should work between the switches or any switch that supports STP / RSTP.

Well I should say Broadcom as Broadcom is who makes their switch core.

STP is broken in toughswitch. If I remember well, you must absolutely have a untag port on each port else STP won't work on ports with only tagged vlan.

I reported it long ago but Ubnt just don't care.

Thank you both! We're using a standard Unifi POE Switch, not a toughswitch, so hopefully that problem is only with the toughswitches!

Must have read it too fast lol. I didn't test stp on both edgeswitch and unifi switch.

Anyway, STP, RSTP and MSTP are a standard, it should work between every switch supporting this protocol.
