Spanning Tree
Protocol (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 this to activate STP on the ZyXEL Device.
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 to enable roaming on the
ZyXEL Device if you have two or more ZyXEL Devices on the same subnet.
Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations
must have the same SSID to allow roaming.
