Spanning Tree Algorithm
(STA)
The Spanning Tree Algorithm 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,
STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that
only one route exists between any two stations on the network. For a more
detailed description of how to use this algorithm, refer to “Spanning Tree
Algorithm” on page 4-2.
Spanning Tree Information
The Spanning Tree Information screen displays a summary of the STA
information for the overall bridge or for a specific port. To make any
changes to the parameters for the Spanning Tree, use the Spanning Tree
Configuration menu.
