3.4 Spanning Tree
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between
switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is, an STP-compliant
switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network,
and provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.
STP - STP uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridging device (STP- compliant switch, bridge or router) that serves
as the root of the spanning tree network. It selects a root port on each bridging device (except for the root device) which
incurs the lowest path cost when forwarding a packet from that device to the root device. Then it selects a designated
bridging device from each LAN which incurs the lowest path cost when forwarding a packet from that LAN to the root
device. All ports connected to designated bridging devices are assigned as designated ports. After determining the lowest
cost spanning tree, it enables all root ports and designated ports, and disables all other ports. Network packets are
therefore only forwarded between root ports and designated ports, eliminating any possible network loops.
