Spanning Tree
Spanning Tree Global Settings
Network > Spanning Tree > Protocol
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides network topology for any arrangement of
bridges/switches. STP also provides a single path between end stations on a network,
eliminating loops. Loops occur when alternate routes exist between hosts. Loops in an
extended network can cause bridges to forward traffic indefinitely, resulting in
increased traffic and reducing network efficiency.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “ Access your switch management page ”
on page 7).
2. Click on Network, click on Spanning Tree, and click on Protocol.
3. Review the settings. Click Apply to save changes.
