Since starting this
blog here, I'm going to continue from where I left off with my studies.
I've been looking
into Spanning Tree for the last few weeks and there are so many topic areas to

IEEE 802.1D is the standard for Common STP
It's labelled as

between switches. Prevention is done by STP port blocking.
In Spanning Tree, lowest number
wins.
