5.2.3 Spanning Tree (IEEE802.1d)
Network looping often results in repeated
packet transmission, which causes overloads
and interruption of communications. The
Spanning Tree in a network loop disconnects
one of the links, rerouting the traffic in the
event of failure, avoiding packet sending
repetition and increasing network stability.
5.3 Network Load Distribution
Features
5.3.1 Load Balancing
This feature enables automatic selection of an
available access point with the least load
among multiple APs. It allows easy roaming,
and the network stability can be increased
significantly through even distribution of the
traffic load.
5.3.2 Repeater
The WLM2-G54 AP can act as a repeater to
other APs. This feature provides a solution for
clients operating in the "dead zone," where
signal does not reach. Combination of this
function and add-on antennas can offer
extended range.
5.3.3 WDS – Wireless Distribution System
WDS is used to create access-point to
access-point communications when a CAT5
cable cannot be used or is unavailable. Similar
to repeating, it is primarily used to extend the
reach of the WLAN. Displaying the name of
the available AirStation while roaming is also
possible.
5.4 Network Administration Fea-
tures
5.4.1 SNMP – Simple Network Manage-
ment Protocol
The WLM2-G54 AP supports SNMP. Each
unit acts as an SNMP agent so that the
network connection status and configuration
information may be accessed remotely
through the SNMP manager, which enables
centralized traffic and fault monitoring.
5.4.2 Syslog
This feature allows sending a copy of the
system log to the Syslog server automatically.
The log contains information on the operating
status of each device, which enables real-time
monitoring of operational data, fault data, user
login data and other such information.
Although the WLM2-G54 model supports
