| Spanning Tree Protocol | Factory Default = DISABLED |
|
| Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path |
|
| redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Ethernet |
|
| network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two |
|
| stations. |
|
| When ENABLED, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two |
|
| computer network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to |
|
| exchange information so that only one of them will handle a given message |
|
| that is being sent between two computers within the network. |
|
| NOTE: Spanning Tree can’t be enabled if VLAN is enabled. |
