Chapter 5 Further Configuration

The figure shown below explains the implementation of STP in a network. AP#1 is physically connected to a switch whilst another 4 access points (AP#2, AP#3, AP#4 and AP#5) are connected to AP#1 wirelessly. Redundant paths were found in this network, without enabling STP function, broadcast storm will occur in this network, resulted duplicated frames to be forwarded.
