    LAN segments for purposes of fault tolerance. Two or more physical paths between different segments can be created through the switch, with the Spanning Tree Protocol choosing a single path at any given time and disabling all others. If the chosen path fails for any reason, a disabled alternative is activated, thereby maintaining the connection.
