Spanning Tree Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Explanation
AP Name Enter a unique name for this access point. The name can be
from 1 to 16 characters. The default is the access point serial
number.
If this access point has an OpenAir master radio, only the first 11
characters are used.
LAN ID (Domain) Enter the LAN ID. All access points must have the same LAN
ID to participate in the same spanning tree. The LAN ID is a
number from 0 to 254.
If you are using OpenAir radios, all OpenAir devices in a
network must have the same LAN ID to be able to
communicate. Also, if you assign a LAN ID greater than 15, the
access point uses a LAN ID that is the remainder after dividing
the LAN ID by 16. For example, if you set the LAN ID to 21 or
37, the access point uses 5.
Root Priority Determines if this access point is a candidate to become the root
of the spanning tree. The access point with the highest root
priority becomes the root whenever it is powered on and active.
The root priority can be a value from 0 to 7. If you set the root
priority to 0, the access point can never become the root access
point.
For more information, see "About the Primary LAN and the
Root Access Point" on page 109.
Note: If your network contains 6710 and MobileLAN access
products, configure a MobileLAN access product as the root.
Enable Ethernet Determines how frames from end devices are dumped on the
Bridging Ethernet network and vice versa. Check this check box if you
want frames to be forwarded directly to the Ethernet network.
Intermec recommends that you enable this parameter on all
access points.
Enabling this parameter on the root or designated bridge and
disabling it on all other access points on the same IP subnet will
enable data link tunneling on the IP subnet. For help, see
"About Data Link Tunneling" on page 111.
Enable GVRP for The access point uses GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
VLAN (GVRP) to request a VLAN-capable Ethernet switch to forward
traffic for specific VLANs.
Enabling this parameter lets the switch exchange VLAN
configuration information with other GVRP switches, prune
unnecessary broadcast, prune unknown unicast traffic, and
dynamically create and manage VLANs on switches connected
through 802.1Q trunk ports.
A switch may also be configured statically to always forward
specific VLANs to specific ports. You should clear this check box
for a static configuration.
