Spanning Tree Protocol - Router Alley
Spanning tree Protocol Aaron Balchunas 1. - Spanning tree Protocol - Switching Loops A Layer-2 switch belongs to only one broadcast domain, and will forward both broadcasts and multicasts out every port but the originating port. When a switching loop is introduced into the network, a destructive broadcast storm will develop within seconds. A storm occurs when broadcasts are endlessly forwarded through the loop. Eventually, the storm will choke off all other network traffic. Consider the following example: If HostA sends out a broadcast, SwitchD will forward the broadcast out all ports in the same VLAN, including the trunk ports connecting to SwitchB. and SwitchE. In turn, those two switches will forward that broadcast out all ports, including the trunks to the neighboring SwitchA and SwitchC.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was developed to prevent the broadcast storms caused by switching loops. STP was originally defined in IEEE 802.1D. Switches running STP will build a map or topology of the entire switching network. STP will identify if there are any loops, and then disable or block
