STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is a Layer 2 protocol that ensures a loop–free topology in Ethernet networks. It works by creating a logical topology, which sets up paths for the data to travel over and prevents it from creating circular data paths, known as loops. By preventing loops, STP helps maintain network performance and prevents network outages.
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is an IEEE 802.1D-2004 networking protocol that provides a loop-free topology for Ethernet networks. It works by creating a logical loop-free topology, by shutting down redundant links to create a single active path between two endpoints, and by preventing the formation of broadcast storms. STP is used in both Ethernet and wireless networks, and is a key component in ensuring reliable and secure network communications.
