5 - Configuring the Spanning Tree
114
2. Configure the Spanning Tree parameters. These parameters are
described below:
AP Name
Enter a unique name for this access point. The name can be from
1 to 16 characters. The default is the access point serial number.
LAN ID (Domain)
Enter the LAN ID. All access points must have the same LAN ID to
participate in the same spanning tree. The LAN ID is a number
from 0 to 254.
Root Priority
Determines if this access point is a candidate to become the root
of the spanning tree. The access point with the highest root
priority becomes the root whenever it is powered on and active.
The root priority can be a value from 0 to 7. If you set the root
priority to 0, the access point can never become the root access
point.
For more information, see About the Primary LAN and the Root
Access Point on page 109.
Enable Ethernet Bridging
Determines how frames from end devices are dumped on the
Ethernet network and vice versa. Check this check box if you want
frames to be forwarded directly to the Ethernet network. Allied
Telesyn recommends that you enable this parameter on all access
points.
Enabling this parameter on the root or designated bridge and
disabling it on all other access points on the same IP subnet will
enable data link tunneling on the IP subnet. For help, see About
Data Link Tunneling on page 111.
Enable GVRP for VLAN
The access point uses GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) to
request a VLAN-capable Ethernet switch to forward traffic for
specific VLANs.
Enabling this parameter lets the switch exchange VLAN
configuration information with other GVRP switches, prune
unnecessary broadcast, prune unknown unicast traffic, and
dynamically create and manage VLANs on switches connected
through 802.1Q trunk ports.
