VELOS platform.log size will grow at rate of 2MB per minute.
The following is the correct sequence of STP configuration. appliance-1(config)# stp global config enabled-protocol RSTP appliance-1(config)# stp rstp interfaces interface 1.0 config cost 100;top appliance-1(config)# stp interfaces interface 1.0 config edge-port EDGE_AUTO link-type P2P ; appliance-1(config-interface-1.0)# exit appliance-1(config)# commit; If the command "stp rstp interfaces interface 1.0 config cost 100;top" is not run, the log messages will occur.
To stop these messages, configure the following: stp rstp interfaces interface 1.0 config cost 100;top
Multiple STP errors messages are no longer logged when not needed.
