Model: CPE710   T1700G-28TQ   CPE210  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 3.0.0

Hi, I have the following problem:
I would like to understand how I can manage my main antennas plus backup ones.
I own from a customer 3x CPE 710 + 3x CPE210, the antennas connect 3x sheds not so far away.
I would like to leave all the antennas active, but obviously doing so creates a network loop which causes me to drop the entire network of my client.
I thought of getting around the problem by manually setting the Span Tree protocol on the ports, as reported in the attached file containing the hypothetical configuration, I have tp-link switches.
It might work?
I would like to use the CPE210s which now the CPE710s do not work properly or do not work.
Can this be an effective method? do you know more?

I have another idea. It seems that you will have CPE710 and CPE210 work at the same time, then why not config LAG?

 

Actually tplink has an example for this usage:

seems like a valid solution, thank you very much for the answer, but the fact remains that they both have to go down to get the other pair to work properly. Source: "If one CPE is down and the other three work fine, the network will still be unavailable. For example, if CPE-A1 is down, Switch-2 will lose connection to Switch-1, since the logic connection between switch 2 and CPE-A2 is still up and the switch may still transfer the data to CPE-A2. ONLY when a pair of CPEs are down at the same time could the LAG strategy use another pair for backup. use CPEs to build up a LAG tunnel may increase the wireless bandwidth but the connection may not stable in some situations."
