Spanning Tree Setting
This Switch supports the 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol.
Every segment will have a single path to the root bridge. All bridges listen
for BPDU packets. However, BPDU packets are sent more frequently - with
every Hello packet. BPDU packets are sent even if a BPDU packet was not
received. Therefore, each link between bridges is sensitive to the status of
the link. Ultimately this difference results in faster detection of failed links,
and thus faster topology adjustment. A draw-back of 802.1d is this absence
of immediate feedback from adjacent bridges.
