Chapter 5 Further Configuration

4.6 STP Setup

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link management protocol that helps to prevent

undesirable loops occur in the network. For an Ethernet network to function properly,

only one active path can exist between two stations. If a loop exists in the network

topology, duplication of messages will occur and this might confuse the forwarding

algorithm and allow duplicate frames to be forwarded.

In short, the main purpose of activating STP is to prevent looping when you have

redundant paths in the network. Without activating STP, redundant topology will cause

broadcast storming.
