STP calculation of the most current Bridge and Port settings.

Now, if switch A broadcasts a packet to switch C, then switch C will drop the packet at port 2 and the broadcast will end there.

Setting-up STP using values other than the defaults, can be complex. Therefore, you are advised to keep the default factory settings

and STP will automatically assign root bridges/ports and block loop connections. Influencing STP to choose a particular switch as

the root bridge using the Priority setting, or influencing STP to choose a particular port to block using the Port Priority and Port Cost

settings is, however, relatively straight forward.

Before Applying the STA Rules

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