network segment. All other ports are blocked, which means that they are prevented from forwarding traffic.
The device supports the following STP versions:

z
Classic STP: Provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and eliminating loops.
Rapid STP: Detects and uses network topologies that provide faster convergence of the spanning tree, without creating forwarding loops. While Classic STP prevents Layer 2 forwarding loops in a general network topology, convergence can take between
