Protocol Overview
STP is a Layer 2 protocol — specified by IEEE 802.1d — that eliminates loops in a bridged topology by enabling only a single path through
the network.
By eliminating loops, the protocol improves scalability in a large network and allows you to implement redundant paths, which can be
activated after the failure of active paths. Layer 2 loops, which can occur in a network due to poor network design and without enabling
protocols like xSTP, can cause unnecessarily high switch CPU utilization and memory consumption.
Dell Networking OS supports three other variations of spanning tree, as shown in the following table.
