Configuring STP Settings

The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable network
loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This
allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STA-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.
The STP > STP Settings window displays the current STP settings.
To configure the STP settings, follow these steps:
Click STP > STP Settings.
