Bridging Example Two (Advanced Bridging):This example shows how two pairs of XL-12000S units connect twoLANs in separate buildings. It shows the best use of the SpanningTree Protocol (STP) by creating redundant loops in the network. Thisway if one link becomes unavailable, STP uses the other path toreach the destination. This configuration is ideal when network avail-ability is critical.
