BIG-IP Spanning-tree behavior question
Hello.
Now I'm designing four-back style website
loadalancing site.
In F5 explanation,STP behavior is described
"A list of Spanning Tree Protocol modes. The difference between STP_MODE_TYPE_DISABLED and
STP_MODE_TYPE_PASSTHROUGH is that the pass-through mode forwards spanning tree bridge
protocol data units (BPDUs) received on any interface to all other interfaces, whereas
the disabled mode discards them."

However, my company boss says the pass-through mode STP behaves IN THE SAME
VLAN SEGMENTS.
Which is the true answer?
