More information on the Spanning Tree Protocol.
Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) was developed to prevent multiple open paths to the same switch (loops). There is an algorithm called STA (Spanning-Tree Algorithm) that is used to calculate a loop-free network topology.
Each port sends small packets addressed to itself and if it receives one back, it knows that there is a loop somewhere in the configuration and the switch will set that port to blocking mode. This process disables it for normal network traffic (Spanning Tree packets will still be allowed to pass).
When the Spanning Tree protocol is enabled the following parameters can be configured:
In some cases, it may be necessary to set certain ports to Fastlink, which disables Spanning Tree for that port only (as disabling Spanning Tree for the entire switch is generally not desirable). This is typically done to resolve timeout issues with DHCP clients that boot especially fast. Spanning Tree has a 30 second timeout period in which the port will be set to blocking mode until the algorithm can ascertain if there are loops. When a DHCP client boots up while the port is still in blocking mode, it can prevent it from obtaining an IP address.
