routing or service table has changed. When set to No (def), updates
are sent at the same rate set for the Ethernet port (see IPX/RIP Timer on
page 3-22 and IPX/SAP Timer on page 3-23).
Bridge/Spanning Tree
The Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol ensures a loop-free topol-
ogy and provides redundancy. The protocol parameters can be spe-
cifically tuned from their defaults, though most applications require
no adjustment.
Spanning Tree/Mode
Write security: 2; Read security: 5
When the mode is set to On, the Express L128T S/T participates in the
Spanning Tree Protocol between other bridges. When Off (def), all
bridge ports remain permanently open for forwarding.
