Spanning Tree Protocol

Factory Default = DISABLED

 

 

Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path

 

 

redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Ethernet

 

 

network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two

 

 

stations.

 

 

When ENABLED, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two

 

 

computer network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to

 

 

exchange information so that only one of them will handle a given message

 

 

that is being sent between two computers within the network.

 

 

NOTE: Spanning Tree can’t be enabled if VLAN is enabled.
