3-14. STP Configuration
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D) for avoiding loops in switched networks. When STP is enabled, ensure that only one path is active between any two nodes on the network at a time. User can enable Spanning Tree Protocol on switch’s web management and then set up other advanced items. We recommend that you enable STP on all switches to ensure a single active path on the network.
