When STP is enabled using the default parameters, the path between source and destination stations in a switched network might not be ideal. For instance, connecting higher-speed links to a port that has a higher number than the current root port can cause a root-port change.

STP Port States

The BPDUs take some time to pass through a network. This propagation delay can result in topology changes where a port that transitioned directly from a Blocking state to a Forwarding state could create temporary data loops. Ports must wait for new network topology information to propagate throughout the network before starting to forward packets. They must also wait for the packet lifetime to expire for BPDU packets that were forwarded based on the old topology. The forward delay timer is used to allow the network topology to stabilize after a topology change. In addition, STP specifies a series of states a port must transition through to further ensure that a stable network topology is created after a topology change.

Each port on a switch using STP exists is in one of the following five states:

•Blocking - the port is blocked from forwarding or receiving packets.

•Listening - the port is waiting to receive BPDU packets that may tell the port to go back to the blocking state.

•Learning - the port is adding addresses to its forwarding database, but not yet forwarding packets.

•Forwarding - the port is forwarding packets.

•Disabled - the port only responds to network management messages and must return to the blocking state first.

A port transitions from one state to another as follows:

•From initialization (switch boot) to blocking.

•From blocking to listening or to disabled.

•From listening to learning or to disabled.

•From learning to forwarding or to disabled.

•From forwarding to disabled.

•From disabled to blocking.
