Tuesday, 02 April 2024 by EITCA Academy
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a vital component in computer networking to prevent loops in Ethernet networks. The process of selecting root ports, designated ports, and blocking ports in STP is important for ensuring a loop-free topology. Firstly, STP elects a root bridge within the network. The bridge with the lowest Bridge ID becomes the
