VerifySTPCounters

Verifies there is no errors in STP BPDU packets.

Expected Results
  • Success: The test will pass if there are NO STP BPDU packet errors under all interfaces participating in STP.

VerifySTPDisabledVlans

Verifies the STP disabled VLAN(s).

This test performs the following checks:

1. Verifies that the STP is configured.
2. Verifies that the specified VLAN(s) exist on the device.
3. Verifies that the STP is disabled for the specified VLAN(s).
Expected Results
  • Success: The test will pass if all of the following conditions are met:
    • STP is properly configured on the device.
    • The specified VLAN(s) exist on the device.
    • STP is confirmed to be disabled for all the specified VLAN(s).
  • Failure: The test will fail if any of the following condition is met:
    • STP is not configured on the device.
    • The specified VLAN(s) do not exist on the device.
    • STP is enabled for any of the specified VLAN(s).
