Efficient Networks 107-0001-000 Eth br options option on off port#, Ethernet port number

Efficient Networks® Router family	Chapter 7: WAN Interface Commands
Command Line Interface Guide

eth br options

Sets controls on bridging for the Ethernet interface. To see the current bridge settings for the Ethernet interface, use the eth list command.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to detect bridging loops. Set this option to off only if the bridging peers do not support the Spanning Tree Protocol or if you are certain that no bridging loops could exist. When STP is disabled on an interface, any STP packets received on that interface are ignored.

CAUTION:

Warning: Do not change the Spanning Tree Protocol (stp) setting without approval from your system administrator.

The PPPoESet option limit this Ethernet port to bridging PPPoE traffic only. If the option is set to off, then the port can bridge any traffic, including PPPoE traffic. The default is off.

Parameters

option l
stp	Set this option to on to use the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The
	default is on.
pppoea	Set this option to on to limit this remote router entry to bridging PP-
	PoE traffic only. If the option is set to off, then the entry can bridge
	any traffic, including PPPoE traffic. The default is off.
<port#>b	Ethernet port number.

aThe Spanning Tree Protocol adds a 40-second delay each time the ADSL or ATM link comes up while the interface determines if there is a bridging loop.
