7.2.1 Viewing a LAN’s STP Statistics
Each AP-5131 LAN has the ability to track its own unique STP statistics. Refer to the LAN STP Stats
page when assessing mesh networking functionality for each of the two AP-5131 LANs. AP-5131s in
bridge mode exchange configuration messages at regular intervals (typically 1 to 4 seconds). If a
bridge fails, neighboring bridges detect a lack of configuration messaging and initiate a spanning-tree
recalculation (when spanning tree is enabled).
To view AP-5131 LAN’s STP statistics:
1. Select Status and Statistics -> LAN Stats -> LAN1 Stats (or LAN2 Stats) > STP Stats
from the AP-5131 menu tree.
2. Refer to the Spanning Tree Info field to for details on spanning tree state, and root
AP-5131 designation.
Spanning Tree State Displays whether the spanning tree state is currently enabled or
disabled. The spanning tree state must be enabled for a unique
spanning-tree calculation to occur when the bridge is powered up
or when a topology change is detected.
