Command Usage
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to detect and disable network
loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This
allows the wireless bridge to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an
STP-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only
one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup
links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.
Example
This example shows how to enable the Spanning Tree Protocol for the wireless
