Spanning Tree Protocol
88
If you select a particular port (Port #1 in this instance), the following screen
appears:
This menu allows you to either enable or disable the Spanning Tree Protocol
for the port. It also allows you to view the ELAN identification (name) as well
as the priority and cost for that ELAN.
The Spanning Tree Protocol is enabled or disabled within each individual
port. If you are certain that there are no redundant paths in your network,
the default can be used. If redundant paths are to be maintained, the
Spanning Tree Protocol must be enabled to avoid network loops and
subsequent network problems.
