Chapter 5: Configuring the Spanning Tree
136
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 candidate to become a root, or a designated bridge, or a
candidate to become a designated bridge.
You also specify if the access point uses Ethernet bridging to forward
frames between the wired and wireless networks. Allied Telesyn
recommends that you use Ethernet bridging on all access points unless
you meet the criteria listed in “About Ethernet Bridging/Data Link
Tunneling” on page 134.
Note
On the designated bridge, 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.
