CLI Commands for Bridging – The following example shows how
to set the MAC address aging time for the wireless bridge.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to detect and
disable network loops, and to provide backup links between
switches, bridges or routers. This allows the wireless bridge to
interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STP-compliant
switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one
route exists between any two stations on the network, and
provide backup links which automatically take over when a
primary link goes down.
STP uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridg ing device
(STP-compliant switch, bridge or router) that serves as the root o f
the spanning tree network. It selects a root port on each bridging
