Allows for redundant links by eliminating loops.
It is only used at Layer 2. It eliminates Layer 2 loops in network topologies.
d. A broadcast storm
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.
the disadvantage os stp that it is time consuming.
A minimum spanning tree graph is important in network optimization because it helps to find the most efficient way to connect all nodes in a network with the least amount of total cost or distance. By identifying the minimum spanning tree, unnecessary connections can be eliminated, reducing overall costs and improving connectivity within the network.
Spanning tree protocol
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
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).
Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)
A spanning tree protocol, or STP, is characteristic to a LAN. It provides a loop-free topology for networks within the system.
It is only used at Layer 2. It eliminates Layer 2 loops in network topologies.
In order to prevent broadcast storms and other side effects of looping, Digital Equipment Corporation created the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Spanning tree protocol locates all links in the network and shuts down redundant links, which stops the occurrence of network loops.
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)
A spanning tree is a tree associated with a network. All the nodes of the graph appear on the tree once. A minimum spanning tree is a spanning tree organized so that the total edge weight between nodes is minimized.
