An Introduction to Spanning Tree Protocol

Path redundancy is a useful technique for providing a reliable network. In a Layer 2 switching

domain, multiple switching devices are connected together to form the network topology. If

redundant paths exist in the network, a packet originating from a LAN segment attached to one node

has multiple paths for getting to a LAN segment attached to another node. When the STP protocol is

running on a Switch, the participating nodes will transmit BPDU messages to exchange information

to determine a loop free topology. To achieve a loop free topology, some ports of the participating

nodes will be set to a blocked state.

When the topology is loop free, the participating node will constantly monitor all links. When any

participating link fails, the port that was originally blocked will recover to provide the packet

forwarding service.

The Switch supports all versions of Spanning Tree Protocol, which includes STP, RSTP, and MSTP.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Concepts

Spanning Tree is a protocol defined by IEEE 802.1d and is the first version of the Spanning Tree

Protocol suite.
