802.1d Spanning Tree — Select “Enable” or “Disable” from the drop-down menu.
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop-
free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network. The basic function of
STP is to prevent bridge loops and ensuing broadcast radiation. Spanning tree
also allows a network design to include spare (redundant) links to provide
automatic backup paths if an active link fails, without the danger of bridge loops
or the need for manual enabling/disabling of these backup links. In larger
networks, this option should be enabled.
DHCP Server — Select “Enable” or “Disable” from the drop-down menu.
2.6.2 DHCP Server
These settings are only available when “DHCP Server” in the LAN IP section is
