Spanning Tree per Port

This administrative tool supports the configuration of the Switch to forward, or block and discard 802.1D spanning tree BPDU packets.

Spanning tree is a bridge-based system for providing fault tolerance on networks and can be used to detect and disable network loops. The spanning tree ensures that the optimal path is maintained between spanning tree-compliant networked devices by:

■Disabling redundant paths when the main paths are operational.

■Enabling redundant paths if the main paths fail.

Spanning tree uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridging device that serves as the root of the spanning tree network. The bridging device known as
