by EITCA Academy
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a important mechanism in computer networking that prevents loops in Ethernet networks by creating a loop-free logical topology. The Root Bridge is a central concept in STP as it serves as a reference point for all other switches in the network. Switches determine the Root Bridge by comparing Bridge IDs,
