Bridging 1-17
In a bridged network, a
root bridge
is elected to control the other
bridges. The root bridge is made aware of any active loops by
consulting the other bridges. The STAP constructs a
spanning tree
which provides unique paths between all devices in the network,
and applies it by putting various bridges' ports in to a blocking
state, as shown in Figure 1-16
.
