Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
The spanning tree protocol (STP) is supported on Dell Networking OS.
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.
