Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)
Designated
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).
A spanning tree protocol, or STP, is characteristic to a LAN. It provides a loop-free topology for networks within the system.
The port will rapidly transition to forwarding.
A spanning tree is used in network design to create a loop-free topology for computer networks. It ensures that all nodes are connected while minimizing the number of edges, thereby preventing loops and reducing redundancy. Spanning trees are particularly important in Ethernet networks to manage data flow and maintain efficient communication. Protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) are employed to dynamically manage and maintain these trees in real-time.
