STP

Spanning-Tree Protocol provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable

loops in the network. It forces certain redundant data paths into a standby (blocked)

state. If one network segment in the Spanning-Tree Protocol becomes unreachable,

or if Spanning-Tree Protocol costs change, the spanning-tree algorithm reconfigures

the spanning-tree topology and re-establishes the link by activating the standby path.

1.3 When to use which mode

The access point is unique in the sense that it may operate in up to 5 different complex

modes in order to best suit any type of network application that you require.

This section presents a brief outline of the different network applications that can be

accommodated through the different modes of the access point.
