The following sections describe how to query the STP information and set the global STP parameters, STP parameters on an interface, and parameters of an MST region. The S2700SI switches do not support the STP function.
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is applicable to ring networks. It uses certain algorithms to implement path redundancy and prune a ring network into a tree-type network. This prevents increase and infinite circulation of packets in the ring network.
