Spanning Tree Protocol (Part of our Self-Healing Network
Suite of Features)
To configure Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), select Advanced Application>Spanning
Tree Protocol in the function menu bar. According to the IEEE 802.1D standard, STP
is used to create ring-free networks on the Data Link layer in a local network. A ring
network can be separated from the network by using STP-enabled devices that
identify loops and block ports from endlessly repeating and forwarding packets.
