Further Configuration

When STP is enabled, the STP-enabled access points will first try to find the root access 
point using the following criteria: 
a.
use the access point that is configured with the smallest STP priority. 
Default priority set in the access points is 32768. 
b.
If the STP priority values are the same, the access point with smallest MAC 
address will be chosen as root. 
Once the root access point is determined, the STP algorithm will start to calculate the 
path cost from each access point to the root access point. Based on the path cost in the 
following table, 
 
Bandwidth STP
Cost
4Mbps 250 
10Mbps 100 
16Mbps 62 
45Mbps 39 
100Mbps 19 
155Mbps 14 
622Mbps 6 
1Gbps 4 
10Gbps 2 
 
The path with the smallest cost will be used and extra redundant paths will be disabled.
