LLDP: LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is an IEEE standard protocol (IEEE 802.1ab) that defines
messages, encapsulated in Ethernet frames for the purpose of giving devices a means of announcing
basic device information to other devices on the LAN (Local Area Network) through periodic
retransmissions out every (TxInterval * TxHold) seconds.
- TxInterval: Setting the interval for sending the packets.
- TxHold: Setting the times of interval for sending the packets.
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.
