Spanning Tree (Bridge Mode Only)
NOTE: The unit must be in Bridge mode to configure Spanning Tree.
This protocol is executed between the bridges to detect and logically remove redundant paths from the network.
Spanning Tree can be used to prevent link-layer loops (broadcast is forwarded to all port where another device may
forward it and, finally, it gets back to this unit; therefore, it is looping). Spanning Tree can also be used to create redundant
links and operates by disabling links: hot standby customer is creating a redundant link without routing function.
If your network does not support Spanning Tree, be careful to avoid creating network loops between radios. For example,
creating a WDS link between two units connected to the same Ethernet network creates a network loop (if spanning tree
is disabled).
The Spanning Tree configuration options are advanced settings. Proxim recommends that you leave these parameters at
their default values unless you are familiar with the Spanning Tree protocol.
Click the Spanning Tree tab to change Spanning Tree values.
