Spanning Tree Protocol Overview
by Spanning Tree Protocol Overview Today I will discuss about Spanning Tree Protocol. STP prevents a network from frame looping by putting some interfaces in forwarding state & some interfaces in blocking state. [boxads] Whenever two or more switches are connected with each other for redundancy purpose loop can occur. STP Protocol is used to prevent the loop. Spanning Tree Protocol is layer 2 Protocol & by default it is enabled on switches. If we don’t use STP, these problems will occur on the network: (i) Broadcast Storms (ii) High Processor Utilization (iii) Mac Table instability (iv) Multiple Frame Transmission STP …
