Spanning Tree Protocol Configuration

Spanning tree is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Layer 2 Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path must exist between two stations.

The spanning-tree algorithm calculates the best loop-free path throughout a switched network. STP forces redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. If a network segment in the spanning tree fails and a redundant path exists, the spanning-tree algorithm recalculates the spanning tree topology and activates the standby path.

If you enable the spanning tree protocol, you must complete the Priority and Time fields with appropriate value.
