Configuring the Spanning Tree Parameters

When you configure the spanning tree parameters, you identify the
access point as part of the spanning tree. That is, you specify if this
access point is a root or a backup root or a designated bridge or a
backup designated bridge, uses data link tunneling to encapsulate
wireless traffic or if wireless traffic gets dumped raw on the Ethernet
network.

On the designated bridge, if you enable Ethernet bridging, wireless
traffic gets dumped raw on the secondary LAN. If you disable Ethernet
bridging or if you set the secondary LAN bridge priority to 0, wireless
traffic is encapsulated on the secondary LAN, which eliminates
communication from wired devices on the secondary LAN.

To configure the spanning tree parameters

1. From the Main Menu, seelct Spanning Tree Settings. The Spanning

Tree Settings screen appears.
