Spanning Tree Protocol Features

The switches implement the following STP features:

❑ Compensate automatically for the failure, removal, or addition of

any bridge in an active data path.

❑ Achieve port changes in short time intervals, which establishes a

stable active topology quickly with a minimum of network
disturbance.

❑ Use a minimum amount of communications bandwidth to

accomplish the operation of the STP.

❑ Reconfigure the active topology in a manner which is transparent

to stations transmitting and receiving data packets.

❑ Manage the topology in a consistent and reproducible manner

through the use of STP parameters.
