In most deployments it is not necessary to configure STP on an access point. However, there are several deployment scenarios where it is advisable. One such scenario I encountered in production …

Hardware: 2 pFsense Box 1 Switch Dlink DGS-3324SR I need to configure a STP into my network because i'm trying to set a wan redundant bridge for a web server. (Take a look to my Network …

I'm trying to configure openvpn in bridging configuration. First step of doing this requires creating bridge interface (br0), bridging together physical ethernet interface (eth0) and logical tap0

The Spanning Tree Algorithm in use by 802.1d (STP), 802.1w (RSTP), and 802.1s (MST) states that the bridge (switch) with the lowest bridge ID (BID) will become the root bridge. The bridge ID is …

You don't need to disable the spanning tree protocol (STP) on the entire switch. Configure the ports where the PCs are connected with the 'spanning-tree portfast' option and they ports will immediately …

I have been learning about spanning tree protocol (STP/RSTP/MSTP) and was wondering, once I turn it on and it's protecting against for example network loops, how do I know there is a network loop?

Jan 24, 2023 · I'm trying to create a lab in GNS3 with docker containers to understand more about spanning-tree. My lab is very simple: there are two Linux/Alpine containers with two links connecting …

Yes, that makes sense. When spanning tree is enabled, the switch has to make sure a port doesn't form a loop before it can pass traffic over that port. This takes about thirty seconds. Some devices, broken …

Because, if you change this question a bit: Does it make sense to enable STP if only two switches are managed? Yes, it does. Spanning Tree obviously works best in a topology where every switch …

Without STP, yes you would have a loop. Make sure that STP is enabled and configured correctly, though, and you won't need to worry about loops.
