Spanning Tree

A Spanning Tree is used to avoid redundant communication loops in networks with multiple bridging devices. Bridges do not have an inherent mechanism to avoid loops, because having redundant systems is a necessity in certain networks. However, redundant systems can cause Broadcast Storms, multiple frame copies, and MAC address table instability problems.

Click Configure Î Filtering Î Spanning Tree to create redundant, hot-standby networks and to prevent network loops. If enabled, Spanning Tree prevents loops by disabling redundant links. If a link becomes unavailable, it automatically enables a redundant link.

Complex network structures can create multiple loops within a network. The Spanning Tree configuration blocks certain ports on MP.11 devices to control the path of communication within the network, avoiding loops and following a Spanning Tree structure.
