    Spanning-tree protocol - flashing led problem

    Hello everyone!

    I use my wl-500g-deluxe router since'05 november. With Oleg's latest firmwares (and the asus 1.9.5.0 firmware too) the lan leds are flashing about every two seconds. I have 3 PCs connected to the router through lan cable. I started an ethereal and says these packets belongs to the spanning-tree protocol.
    How can I disable this, not to flashing the leds?
    With the asus 1.9.4.0 firmware this was not a problem, so the leds did not flash.
    I am not a unix guru, but I tried the "set spantree disable all" command, but nothing happend. Maybe this is not a valid unix command.






    Please note that english is not my native language, but hope you can understand me.

    You can use the following command to temporarily disable STP on the bridge:
    Code:
    brctl br0 stp off
    To disable it permanently, you have to change a value in nvram:
    Code:
    nvram set lan_stp=0
    nvram commit

    Thank You!
    Problem solved.

    BTW on my WL-500g this command works:
    Code:
     brctl stp br0 disable
    And you can check the status:
    Code:
    brctl show br0 stp

    Sorry for causing confusion - I swapped "br0" and "stp". It must of course read:
    Code:
    brctl stp br0 off
    (disable does not work for me. YMMV - I'm using bridge-utils-1.0.6 on OpenWrt...)
