Layer 2 STP: If the AP is set up to bridge other network components, this option can be enabled to
prevent undesired loops because a broadcasting storm may occur in a multi-switch environment where
broadcast packets are forwarded in an endless loop between switches. Moreover, a broadcast storm may
consume most of the available system resources in addition to available bandwidth. Thus, enabling the
Layer 2 STP can lower such undesired occurrence and derive the best available data path for network
communication. The AP also supports RSTP Operation. Configurable parameters include Bridge
Priority, Hello Time, Max Age, and Forward Delay. Please refer to IEEE standards for recommended
parameter values.
