MultiFRAD 3000-Series User Guide
Spanning Tree Setup
The Spanning Tree Setup dialog box controls transparent bridging when the Bridging option is enabled or if there are any loops or redundant links in the internetwork, then Spanning Tree Algorithm option must be used. Spanning Tree is a method of transparent bridging, as opposed to source route bridging which the MultiFRAD does not support.
The MultiFRAD defaults with one logical WAN port mapped to a DLCI. It is not necessary to map this port to a DLCI, however, care should be taken if additional logical WANs are created. Additional WAN will default to a disabled state. If they are to be used, they must be mapped to a DLCI. In most applications, the forwarding state should be enabled on the first logical WAN and blocking should be set on any additional WANs. The MultiFRAD will make the transition from blocking to forwarding automatically when it is required.
