Bridge STP Configuration
– 48 –
◆ Link Port Priority — Defines the priority used for this port in the Spanning
Tree Protocol. If the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port
with the highest priority (i.e., lowest value) will be configured as an active link in
the spanning tree. This makes a port with higher priority less likely to be
blocked if the Spanning Tree Protocol is detecting network loops. Where more
than one port is assigned the highest priority, the port with lowest numeric
identifier will be enabled. (Default: 32; Range: 0-63)
Bridge Configuration Use the Bridge Configuration page to configure the aging time for the MAC address
table.
The AP stores the MAC addresses for all known devices. All the addresses learned by
monitoring traffic are stored in a dynamic address table. This information is used to
pass traffic directly between inbound and outbound interfaces.

The following items are displayed on the STP page:
◆ mac aging time — The time after which a learned MAC address is discarded.
