🌐Spanning tree protocol prevents network loops by disabling redundant connections.
🚫Without spanning tree protocol, broadcast traffic can cause loops and result in network congestion.
🔁Spanning tree protocol identifies and blocks redundant paths to avoid traffic looping.
✅By ensuring a loop-free network, spanning tree protocol improves network performance and reliability.
🔒Commercial switches like Cisco Catalyst switches have spanning tree protocol enabled by default.
