Default Setting
Spanning tree is enabled.
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable
network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges
or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging
devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your
network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations
on the network, and provide backup links which automatically take over
when a primary link goes down.
