Spanning Tree
—Select the
Spanning Tree
check box to enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the
wired profile. STP ensures that there are no loops in any bridged Ethernet network and operates on all
downlink ports, regardless of forwarding mode. STP will not operate on the uplink port and is supported
only on IAPs with three or more ports. By default, Spanning Tree is disabled on wired profiles.
d.
Inactivity Timeout
—Specify the time out interval within the range of 60–86,400 seconds for inactive
wired clients. The default interval is 1000 seconds.
