Spanning Tree Configuration
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to detect and disable
network loops and to provide link back-up. It requires certain
parameter settings. The factory default settings (See Figure 4-6)
should be acceptable in most networks. To change the default
settings, proceed as follows:
