2.2.7 RSTP Configuration
The software’s built-in Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) functionality enables you to
set up full redundancy between radios or other devices.
Note: RSTP is not VLAN aware. If RSTP is enabled in a network that uses VLANs, there may be
paths that have unblocked loops thereby nullifying the effectiveness of RSTP.
