As long as the bridge assumes the role of the root bridge, it periodically notifies other bridges of its root-bridge status by transmitting an STA packet. If a bridge does not believe that it functions as the root bridge, it forwards STA packets received on its root port through its ...
Modifications to the spanning tree algorithm allow bad news to propagate quickly by providing that protocol entities on bridges process inferior information sent by the designated bridge for each LAN. In addition, bridges use per port hello timers to stimulate information propagation, setting it to su...
In a small network with one or two switches, the spanning tree protocol (STP) has little value; however, in a large network where many switches are connected to each other via bridges, redundant paths can cause loops.The algorithm creates a hierarchical "tree" that "spans" the entire ...
The goal of this LoriotPro Plugin is to monitornetwork bridgesandnetwork switchesrunning theSpanning Tree protocol (STP). This algorithm defined in theIEEE 802.1dstandard, is used to determine whenmultiple pathsexist between twotransparent bridgedevice which one should be active and which one should...
Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) prevents loops from being formed when switches or bridges are interconnected via multiple paths. Spanning-Tree Protocol implements the 802.1D IEEE algorithm by exchanging BPDU messages with other switches to detect loops, and then removes the loop Read more Sub-...

解析:Explanation:STP’s main task is to stop network loops from occurring on your Layer 2 network (bridges or switches). It vigilantly monitors the network to find all links, making sure that no loops occur by shutting down any redundant ones. STP uses the spanning-tree algorithm (STA) to...
