Restrict Terminated Sessions Per Spanning Tree

This parameter enables you to restrict terminated sessions per the spanning tree network topology when the Ethernet frame is used over frame relay.
If enabled (set to Yes), new session requests are not sent over "Blocked" spanning tree ports. If a primary route is specified and the state of that route is not forwarding, the session will not be activated over that route. If a parallel route is defined, the session will use that route instead, however, both routes must meet the spanning tree requirements.
 
If a session is up and running, and the corresponding spanning tree route's status changes from a "Forwarding" state, the session may switch to another defined route, or simply terminate with a clearing code.

Range: Yes or No
