The command source-bridge spanning is not required for DLSW for itself.
The command will be required if the end station in your network generates
spanning explorer packets. The decision about whether to send all routes
exolorers or spanning explorers is made by the end station. If the end
station generates them, the router needs to be configured to propagate
them. If the end station does not generate spanning explorers the router
does not need the command. It is not a requirement of DLSW but it is a
requirement based on end station.
