Spanning Tree Protocol Configuration
Spanning tree is a link management protocol that provides path
redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For
Layer 2 Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path
must exist between two stations.
The spanning-tree algorithm calculates the best loop-free path
throughout a switched network. STP forces redundant data paths
into a standby (blocked) state. If a network segment in the spanning
tree fails and a redundant path exists, the spanning-tree algorithm
recalculates the spanning tree topology and activates the standby
path.

If you enable the spanning tree protocol, you must complete the
Priority and Time fields with appropriate value.
