How STP Operates
The switch automatically senses port identity and type, and automatically
defines port cost and priority for each type. The console interface allows you
to adjust the Cost and Priority for each port, as well as the Mode for each port
and the global STP parameter values for the switch.
While allowing only one active path through a network at any time, STP retains
any redundant physical path to serve as a backup (blocked) path in case the
existing active path fails. Thus, if an active path fails, STP automatically
activates (unblocks) an available backup to serve as the new active path for
as long as the original active path is down. For example:
