Spanning Tree Protocol is the tried and tested method for providing path redundancy while eliminating loops in bridged networks. Spanning Tree Protocol, supported on most bridges and switches, is the ...

Anyone have any thoughts on how to minimize the hit taken on a migration to rapid spanning tree?<br><br>Situation: Cat switch with numerous trunk ports - when I switch to rapid-pvst all the trunk ...

Computing researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology have developed a new loop-avoidance protocol that solves a key challenge faced in switched networks, including many of the data center ...

On a small network (<250 users) I had a user buy a 5-port Linksys switch and uplink (via 2 cables) to Ethernet ports on the wall. This caused an infinite loop that caused some problems for the site, ...

I am amazed by the number of networks that I encounter that do not have optimal spanning tree configurations. I first read Radia Perlman’s book “Interconnections” back in 1994. I am amazed that 15 ...
