Network Administration: Spanning

Tree and LAG

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Spanning Tree
• Link Aggregation (LAG)

Spanning Tree

This section: describes how to configure the Spanning Tree feature. It

contains the following topics:

• Global Settings

• Rapid Spanning Tree
• MSTP Properties
• VLAN to MSTP Instance
• MSTP Instance Settings
• MSTP Interface Settings

Spanning Tree Overview

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides tree topography for any bridge

arrangement. STP eliminates loops by providing a unique path between end

stations on a network.
Loops occur when alternate paths exist between hosts. Loops can cause

bridges to relay the same packet(s) indefinitely, resulting in packets not

arriving at their destination, Broadcast/Multicast storms, and reduced

network efficiency.
