Bridge Configuration - Microhard Systems Nano IP Series Operating Manual

6.0 Configuration

6.1.4.5 Bridge Configuration

In most deployments, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) will not be required. It does consume a
small amount of bandwidth. The default is ‗On'. If desired, change the status to ‗Off'.
Note that this menu item will not appear if the IP Series unit is configured to be a router.
STP: Spanning Tree
Protocol is a link
management protocol
which will accommodate
the availability of
redundant data paths but
inhibit the possibility of a
loop being created: a
loop could create endless
traffic ‗around' a LAN,
consuming much of the
bandwidth.
Selection of STP operational status: On or Off.
