Using the 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, an 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.
