Spanning Tree Protocol Factory Default = DISABLED
Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path
redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Ethernet
network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two
stations.
When ENABLED, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two
computer network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to
exchange information so that only one of them will handle a given message
that is being sent between two computers within the network.

To edit the VC configuration of your Router, click the edit button adjacent to any of the “Enabled” protocols
