Having many bridges creates the potential for network loops. A loop presents conflicting information about the segment on which a specific address is located and forces the bridge to forward all data.

When configuring the IAD as a router (Chapter 4, Router Configuration on page 103), you must disable STP both globally and by port.

NOTE When you enable STP, the IAD reconfigures the bridge network to transfer data along an optimum route to its destination.
