Overview

As a Layer 2 management protocol, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) eliminates Layer 2 loops by

selectively blocking redundant links in a network, and in the mean time, allows for link redundancy.

Like many other protocols, STP evolves as the network grows. The later versions of STP are Rapid

Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP). This chapter describes

the characteristics of STP, RSTP, and MSTP and the relationship among them.

Spanning Tree Protocol Overview

Why STP

Spanning tree protocol (STP) is a protocol conforming to IEEE 802.1d. It aims to eliminate loops on data

link layer in a local area network (LAN). Devices running this protocol detect loops in the network by

exchanging packets with one another and eliminate the loops detected by blocking specific ports until

the network is pruned into one with a tree topology. As a network with a tree topology is loop-free, STP

prevents packets in it from being duplicated and forwarded endlessly and prevents device and network

performance degradation caused by data loops.

In the narrow sense, STP refers to IEEE 802.1d STP; in the broad sense, STP refers to the IEEE 802.1d

STP and various enhanced spanning tree protocols derived from that protocol.

Protocol Packets of STP

STP uses bridge protocol data units (BPDUs), also known as configuration messages, as its protocol

packets.

STP identifies the network topology by transmitting BPDUs between STP compliant network devices,

typically switches and routers. BPDUs contain sufficient information for the network devices to complete

the spanning tree calculation.
