User manual

CRADLEPOINT COR | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 5.0.0

Initial Virtual Router State: This controls the initial VRRP failover state for this physical router: choose Master or

Backup. This sets up the virtual router association more quickly than the Router Priority level, but the Router Priority

assignment will eventually overrule this if there is a discrepancy.

Authentication: VRRP Authentication Method. This is for legacy purposes: VRRP Authentication has been deprecated

as of RFC 3768. Select None or Simple. If you select Simple, input a VRRP group password.

Provide Virtual IP in DHCP leases: Select this to automatically set the DHCP default gateway address and DNS server

address to the virtual IP in DHCP leases provided on this network.

STP:

NOTE: STP requires a feature license. Go to System Settings → Feature

Licenses to enable this feature.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) allows a network design to

include redundant paths while preventing broadcast radiation

from bridge loops.

Enable STP: Enable Spanning Tree Protocol loop detection.

Bridge Priority: Set the priority of the bridge. When

determining the root bridge of the spanning tree topology, the

bridge priority is compared first. The bridge with the lowest

priority value will win. If you want this router to be the root

bridge, then set it to a value less than the default of 32768. A

valid priority value is between 0 and 65535.
