Implement Spanning Tree Protocols

This chapter explores the critical role of redundancy in converged switched networks, detailing how Layer 2 loops can occur even in well-managed environments. It provides an in-depth explanation of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), including its algorithm and operation to eliminate Layer 2 loops. The role of Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs), Bridge IDs (BIDs), port roles, and port states are described, alongside the importance of BPDU timers. Furthermore, it discusses the convergence process and the decision sequence for electing a root bridge, highlighting configurations for Rapid per VLAN Spanning Tree (rapid PVST+).
