STP and RSTP(WDM Network)
The STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) and RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) are used in the loop network. The two protocols realize routing redundancy by adopting certain algorithms and break the loop network into a loop-free tree network, preventing
packets from increasing and cycling in an endless manner in the loop network. In this manner, the application of the two protocols can prevent the occurrence of the broadcast storm and MAC address table flapping.
- STP/RSTP
STP is the abbreviation for spanning tree protocol, and RSTP is the abbreviation for rapid spanning tree protocol. Generally, the topology for the Layer 2 switching network involves the loop. This may result in the broadcast storm and MAC bridge table flapping. The STP/RSTP protocol aims to prune a bridged LAN to a spanning tree in the logical topology. Thus, the broadcast storm can be avoided.
- Configuring the Spanning Tree
STP is the abbreviation for spanning tree protocol, and RSTP is the abbreviation for rapid spanning tree protocol. Generally, the topology for the Layer 2 switching network involves the loop. This may result in the broadcast storm and MAC bridge table flapping. The STP or RSTP protocol is used to trim a bridge LAN into a single spanning tree based on a logic topology to prevent the broadcast storm that results from the looped Ethernet services.
