700 Series Software Manual v2.1 Advanced> Spanning Tree This switch is compliant with IEEE802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). STP ensures that only one path at a time is active between any two network nodes. There maybe more than one physical path between any two nodes, forming a loop, either created for redundancy or by accident. STP ensures only one physical path is active and the others are blocked. If a loop is created for redundancy, STP will monitor the two paths and activate the stand-by path if the primary path fails. If a loop was created inadvertently, STP will disable one of the two paths. A loop in a network can disable your network by causing a "Broadcast storm", the result of a broadcast message traveling through the loop again and again. There are two sub-page of Spanning Tree configuration: • Bridge Settings • Port Settings Advanced> Spanning Tree >Bridge Settings Figure 5-36: Spanning Tree: Bridge Settings When Spanning tree is used in conjunction with a set of aggregated ports, also known as a port trunking, Spanning Tree will treat the trunk as a single virtual port.
