Spanning Tree Setup
When Bridging is enabled, the Spanning Tree Setup dialog box controls simple transparent bridging
between two remote Ethernet LANs. However, if your internetwork contains any loops or redundant
links, then the Spanning Tree Algorithm must also be enabled. If you use only the IP and IPX
protocols, leave bridging disabled to allow the RouteFinder to operate more efficiently.
With Spanning Tree bridging, the RouteFinder defaults with one logical WAN port mapped to a DLCI
and set for “forwarding.” Any other WAN ports should be set for “blocking.” When it is required, the
RouteFinder will make the transition from blocking to forwarding automatically.
