Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to detect bridging loops. Set this option to off
only if the bridging peers do not support the Spanning Tree Protocol or if you are
certain that no bridging loops could exist. When STP is disabled on an interface, any
STP packets received on that interface are ignored.
CAUTION:
Warning: Do not change the Spanning Tree Protocol (stp) setting without approval
from your system administrator.
The PPPoESet option limit this Ethernet port to bridging PPPoE traffic only. If the
option is set to off, then the port can bridge any traffic, including PPPoE traffic. The
default is off.
