Spanning Tree Protocol
The TigerSwitch 100 switches support the ANSI/IEEE 802.1d
Spanning Tree Protocol. This protocol adds a level of fault
tolerance by allowing two or more redundant connections to be
created between a pair of LAN segments. When there are
multiple physical paths between segments, the protocol will
choose a single path and disable all others to ensure that only
one route exists between any two stations on the network. This
prevents the creation of network loops. However, if the chosen
path should fail for any reason, an alternate path will be
activated to maintain the connection.
The default setting for Spanning Tree Protocol is "enabled". This
protocol may be configured (enabled or disabled) out-of-band
via the serial console port or in-band via the SNMP agent or
Telnet.
