Command Usage
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) 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 STA-compli-
ant 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.
Example
The following example shows how to enable the Spanning Tree Algorithm for the
switch:
Console(config)#bridge 1 spanning-tree
Console(config)#
