This feature allows you to set the bridge aging time and to enable
Spanning Tree.
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to detect and disable
network loops, and to provide backup links between bridges. This allows a
wireless bridge to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STP-
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.
