\section{Spanning Tree}
|
|
|
|
Spanning Tree exists for the \textbf{sole} reason to save "your" network and all the broadcast storms an network engineer having a bad day can by mistake create!
|
|
|
|
STP comes from the above desire where redundancy was wanted but no protocol existed before STP to help in this regard.

\subsection{Port Roles}
|
|
|
|
When a switch is enabled for Spanning Tree. One of the following roles will have been assumed by any port on the switch in question.
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \textbf{Root port:} Only 1 port on any switch (non-counting the root bridge!). Is always the port with the lowest metric (aka. best path) to the root bridge.
|
|
\item \textbf{Designated port:} A designated port is the port on any segment closest to the root bridge and forwarding traffic.
|
|
\item \textbf{\textit{Non}-designated port:} Put in blocking mode and not currently forwarding traffic.
|
|
\item \textbf{Disabled port:} The port has been one-way-or-another shut down.
|
|
\end{itemize}
