Does trunking automatically occur when spanning tree protocol is configured on a network?

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) does not set up trunk links, it is used to remove logical (Layer 2: Data Link) loops in a network in case there is layer 1 (Physical) redundancy


What is STP called now?

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is still referred to as STP. However, there are newer variations of STP such as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).

What is spaning tree protocol?

STP stand for Spaning Tree Protocol. It's used to avoid the L2 loop in the network. many factor are belong to STP. such as Root Switch, BPDU, Root Port, Forward port, blocking port.
