Spanning Tree. Each RLX2-IHx series radio can have up to 34 active ports – one
Ethernet cable, one parent RF link, and up to 32 child RF links.
The primary reason for creating a Spanning Tree is that it allows you to create
fully redundant paths. If any single radio in a redundant path loses its connection,
and if another path still exists, the radio updates the connection to
communication restored.
