Bridge based upon the amount of data flow Setting this site as the root bridge is discussed below in Root Bridge Blocking and Forwarding Phase To ensure you do not have a network loop situation due to redundant paths in your wireless network the Model 195Ea will recognize and disable block one or more redundant links and provide back up links should the primary link fail This establishes a wireless mesh network with a series of forwarding links based upon the shortest path length to the Root Bridge For example looking at Figure 4 the Remote Building has two routes to the Root Bridge Plant Network Example 1 directly to the site and through the repeater The direct link between the two sites is the shortest route lowest Path Length and will be selected as the primary route unless overridden by manually changing the Path Length in the configuration Path Length If more than one communication path to the Root Bridge is found the 195Ea must determine which route to take based upon the lowest Path Length The default path length to all links in the 195Ea network is 1 If the Path Lengths are equal then the lowest MAC address will determine the priority route In the ESTeem Mesh Network we want to directly control all data flow so do not want the routes to be automatically determined Looking again at our Example in Figure 4 if we made no changes to the default path length of 1 note values in Figure 3 the lowest path cost would be

50. S The ESTeem Model 195Ea uses standard Ethernet Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol RSTP to determine the radio routing structure of the wireless network The primary purpose of RSTP is to make sure that network loops are not created A network loop is having two communication paths to the same destination where the remote device would receive the same data multiple times If there were no way to control the data flow this data would be constantly passed around this loop causing a packet storm that would shut down the entire network The Spanning Tree Protocol will block all these redundant links The STP operation begins by determining which Ethernet device on the network will be the Root Bridge All Ethernet networks have a Root Bridge that is selected by the lowest MAC address All path costs are evaluated against this Root Bridge device to determine routing and which paths will be blocked On a wired Ethernet network the location of the Root Bridge is not really important but in a wireless network selection of the Root Bridge is critical to the wireless network routing Let s use one of the Example network diagrams from Chapter 5 to continue the discussion Figure 4 HUB or Switch 10 100BaseT Access Point Router with Repeater Stand Alone Repeater Site Example 2 S N E 14002 a rj WLAN MAC 00 04 3F 00 09 05 Feature Enabled pee ead f Access Point Bridge Plant Network om A with Repeater
