STA (Spanning Tree Algorithm)
The Spanning Tree Algorithm can be used to detect and disable
network loops, and to provide backup links between switches,
bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other
bridging devices (that is, STA compliant switch, bridge or router)
in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any
two stations on the network. For a more detailed description of
how to use this algorithm, refer to "Spanning Tree Algorithm" on
page 4-1.
Spanning Tree Information
The Spanning Tree Information screen displays a summary of the
STA information for the overall bridge or for a specific port. To
make any changes to the parameters for the Spanning Tree, use
the Spanning Tree Configuration menu.
Spanning Tree
The parameters shown in the following figure and table describe
the current bridge STA Information.
Parameter
Spanning Tree State
Bridge ID
3-20
Description
Shows if the switch is enabled to participate in an
STA compliant network.
A unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of
bridge priority plus MAC address (where the
address is normally taken from the agent).
