Using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) functionality of the switch makes your network more fault
tolerant. The following sections explain more about STP and the STP features supported by
ExtremeWare.
NOTE
STP is a part of the 802.1d bridge specification defined by the IEEE Computer Society. To explain STP
in terms used by the 802.1d specification, the switch will be referred to as a bridge.
Overview of the Spanning Tree Protocol
STP is a bridge-based mechanism for providing fault tolerance on networks. STP allows you to
implement parallel paths for network traffic, and ensure that:
•
Redundant paths are disabled when the main paths are operational.
•
Redundant paths are enabled if the main path fails.
NOTE
STP is not supported in conjunction with ESRP.
