Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main function of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)?
  • Step 1: Understand that in a network with multiple switches, data can take different paths to reach the same destination.
  • Step 2: Realize that if data takes multiple paths at the same time, it can create loops, causing confusion and network problems.
  • Step 3: Learn that the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a method used to prevent these loops.
  • Step 4: Know that STP works by identifying the best path for data and blocking any extra paths that could cause loops.
  • Step 5: Remember that the result is a loop-free network, allowing data to flow smoothly without getting stuck in loops.
