How To Configure Spanning Tree: In most cases, the default STP param-
eter settings are adequate. In cases where it is not, use this procedure to make
configuration changes.
C a u t i o n
If you enable STP (step 5), it is recommended that you leave the remainder of
the STP parameter settings at their default values until you have had an
opportunity to evaluate STP performance in your network. Because incorrect
STP settings can adversely affect network performance, you should avoid
making changes without having a strong understanding of how STP operates.
To learn the details of STP operation, refer to the IEEE 802.1d standard.
