8.4 Technical Reference
This section provides technical background information about the topics covered in
this chapter.
8.4.1 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) detects and breaks network loops and provides
backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact
with other STP-compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one route
exists between any two stations on the network.
8.4.1.1 Rapid STP
The NWA uses IEEE 802.1w RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) that allow faster
convergence of the spanning tree (while also being backwards compatible with
STP-only aware bridges). Using RSTP topology change information does not have
to propagate to the root bridge and unwanted learned addresses are flushed from
Profile
Select the profile(s) of the SSIDs you want to use in your wireless
network. You can have up to eight BSSs running on the NWA
simultaneously, one of which is always the pre-configured
VoIP_SSID profile and another of which is always the pre-
configured Guest_SSID profile.
Configure SSID profiles in the
SSID
screen.
Enable Antenna
Diversity
Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple
antennas to reduce signal interference.
Enable Breathing
LED
Select this box to disable the WLAN LED (light). Clear this box to
enable the WLAN LED.
Enable Spanning
Tree Control (STP)
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links
between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact
with other (R)STP -compliant bridges in your network to ensure that
only one path exists between any two stations on the network.
Select the check box to activate STP on the NWA.
Enable Roaming
Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to
another as they move from one coverage area to another. Select
this checkbox to enable roaming on the NWA if you have two or
more NWAs on the same subnet.
Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations
must have the same SSID to allow roaming.
