Enable or Disable Spanning Tree Protocol

For locations where multiple access points are active, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can provide network
traffic optimization by preventing path redundancy. If your location includes more than one access point,
we recommend that you enable STP.
To enable or disable Spanning Tree Protocol:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The default user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Configuration > System > Advanced > General.
The General page displays.
5. Select one of the following radio buttons:
• Enable. STP is enabled.
• Disable. STP is disabled. This is the default setting.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Enable or Disable Network Integrity Check

The network integrity check function enables the access point to validate whether the upstream link is active
before the access point allows WiFi associations. Make sure that the default gateway is configured correctly.
By default, the network integrity check function is disabled.
