Bridge Commands

Default Setting

Spanning tree is enabled.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

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.

Example

This example shows how to enable the Spanning Tree Protocol for the wireless bridge:

AP(config)#bridge stp-bridge spanning-tree

AP(config)#

bridge stp-bridge forward-time

Use this command to configure the spanning tree bridge forward time globally for the wireless bridge. Use the no form to restore the default.

Syntax

bridge stp-bridge forward-time seconds no bridge stp-bridge forward-time

seconds - Time in seconds. (Range: 4 - 30 seconds)

The minimum value is the higher of 4 or [(max-age / 2) + 1].

7-67
