Advanced> Spanning Tree
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) ensures that only one path at a time is active between any two network nodes. There are maybe more than one
physical path between any two nodes for redundant paths; STP ensures only one physical path is active and the others are blocked. STP will
prevent an inadvertent loop in a network, which can disable your network due to a “Broadcast storm”, the result of a broadcast message traveling
through the loop again and again.
There are two sub-page of Spanning Tree configuration:
o
Bridge Settings
