Set Spanning Tree
Spanning Tree eliminates loops in a LAN topology, ensuring that there is only one path (or link)
between any two nodes on a network. Use Spanning Tree protocol only when you have already
selected a Bridge session (as described in
“Set Up WAN Sessions” on page 23 ) and when you
have more than one device (a PC only) on your LAN and when those devices have more than
one physical path connecting them.
1 Select System on the menu bar, then click Configuration to access the System Configuration
page .
2 Select Enable to activate the Spanning Tree protocol for all bridging sessions.
