Efficient Networks 107-0001-000 User Manual

Sets controls on bridging for the Ethernet interface. To see the current bridge settings 
for the Ethernet interface, use the 

 command.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to detect bridging loops. Set this option to off 
only if the bridging peers do not support the Spanning Tree Protocol or if you are 
certain that no bridging loops could exist. When STP is disabled on an interface, any 
STP packets received on that interface are ignored.

Warning: Do not change the Spanning Tree Protocol (stp) setting without approval 
from your system administrator.

The PPPoESet option limit this Ethernet port to bridging PPPoE traffic only. If the 
option is set to off, then the port can bridge any traffic, including PPPoE traffic. The 
default is off.

The Spanning Tree Protocol adds a 40-second delay each time the ADSL or ATM link comes up while 
the interface determines if there is a bridging loop.

Set this option to on to limit this remote router entry to bridging PP-
PoE traffic only. If the option is set to off, then the entry can bridge 
any traffic, including PPPoE traffic. The default is off.
