Configuring the Spanning Tree Protocol
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides a single path between end stations on a Layer 2
network, thereby eliminating loops.
Loops occur when alternate routes exist between hosts. Loops in an extended network may
cause bridges to forward traffic indefinitely, resulting in increased traffic and a reduction in
network performance. To open the Spanning Tree page:
•Click Switch > Spanning Tree in the Tree View. The Spanning Tree page opens.
