4.6 Spanning Tree Protocol
4.6.1 Theory
The Spanning Tree Protocol can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup
links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices
in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and
provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down. The spanning tree
algorithms supported by this switch include these versions:
STP – Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D)
RSTP – Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1w)
MSTP – Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1s)
The IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol allow for the
blocking of links between switches that form loops within the network. When multiple links between
switches are detected, a primary link is established. Duplicated links are blocked from use and become
standby links. The protocol allows for the duplicate links to be used in the event of a failure of the primary
link. Once the Spanning Tree Protocol is configured and enabled, primary links are established and
duplicated links are blocked automatically. The reactivation of the blocked links (at the time of a primary
link failure) is also accomplished automatically without operator intervention.
This automatic network reconfiguration provides maximum uptime to network users. However, the
concepts of the Spanning Tree Algorithm and protocol are a complicated and complex subject and must
be fully researched and understood. It is possible to cause serious degradation of the performance of the
network if the Spanning Tree is incorrectly configured. Please read the following before making any
changes from the default values.
The Switch STP performs the following functions:
Creates a single spanning tree from any combination of switching or bridging elements.
Creates multiple spanning trees – from any combination of ports contained within a single switch, in
user specified groups.
