Do Raymarine MFD’s support spanning tree (STP)?
I have two MFDs which I’d like to connect to each other directly, but also both to the Ethernet switch (third-party with STP support) with their second Ethernet ports. This creates a redundant physical network, but if the MFDs don’t support STP it could create a loop. I am assuming each Ethernet port on the MFDs is a part of a virtual switch and not an interface (i.e. the MFD only has one IP address, not one for each Ethernet port).
Thanks!
