    Configuring Spanning Tree Section 15. Configuring Spanning Tree Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides tree topography for any arrangement of bridges. STP also provides a sin- gle path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops. Loops occur when alternate routes exist between hosts. Loops in an extended network can cause bridges to for- ward traffic indefinitely, resulting in increased traffic and reducing network efficiency.
