Figure 17: Spanning Tree Protocol
Bridge
Sets STP bridge link parameters.
The following items are displayed on the STP page:
◆ Spanning Tree Protcol — Enables/disables STP on the AP.
(Default: Disabled)
◆ Priority — Used in selecting the root device, root port, and designated port.
The device with the highest priority becomes the STP root device. However, if
all devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will
then become the root device. (Note that lower numeric values indicate higher
priority.) (Default:32768; Range: 0-65535)
◆ Max Age — The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without
receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure. All device
ports (except for designated ports) should receive configuration messages at
regular intervals. Any port that ages out STP information (provided in the last
configuration message) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it
is a root port, a new root port is selected from among the device ports attached
