In this example, only the default STP values are used.

Sample Network using STP
The switch with the lowest Bridge ID (switch C) was elected the root bridge, and the ports were
selected to give a high port cost between switches B and C.
Note also that the example network topology is intended to provide redundancy to protect the network
against a link or port failure – not a switch failure or removal. For example, a failure of switch A would
isolate LAN 1 from connecting to LAN 2 or LAN 3.
