Using Spanning Tree Function; Configuring Spanning Tree Function - Omron WE70-AP Operation Manual

4-6. Using Spanning Tree Function

Configuring the spanning tree function prevents endless looping of packets in a looped communication path.
In an example shown below, a wireless LAN port with low priority is being stopped if no obstacle exists in
wired LAN paths. To construct a network using the spanning tree function, you must choose a switch or a
hub that supports IEEE802.1d spanning tree protocol.
* This section describes how to configure for communication using the spanning tree function,assuming wireless units of AP-1 and AP-
2.
