REMOTE SETBROPTIONS
Sets controls on bridging for the remote router entry.
To see the current bridging settings for remote router entries, use the remote listbridge command (page 272).
Warning: Do not change the stp setting without approval from your system administrator.
option stp
Set this option to on to use the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The default is on.
STP is used to detect bridging loops. Set this option to off only if the bridging peers do not support
the Spanning Tree Protocol or if you are certain that no bridging loops could exist. When STP is
disabled on an interface, any STP packets received on that interface are ignored.
Note: The Spanning Tree Protocol adds a 40-second delay each time the ADSL or ATM link
comes up while the interface determines if there is a bridging loop.
pppoeOnly
Set this option to on to limit this remote router entry to bridging PPPoE traffic only. If the option
is set to off, then the entry can bridge any traffic, including PPPoE traffic. The default is off.
remoteName Name of the remote router (character string).
Examples:
The following command requests the spanning tree protocol for remote router HQ.
remote setBrOptions stp on HQ
The following command configures remote router PPPoEbridge as the remote through which only PPPoE
traffic is bridged.
