For spanning tree to work, do all the switches on a network (let us say a LAN) have to support or enable Spanning Tree? That is the general question.
Specifically, I have an HP Procurve connected to a router, and then a Netgear Switch that hooks into one of the ports on the HP. On the Netgear are 3 or 4 more Netgear switches (all of there are simple unmanaged switches)and we are pretty sure there are some redundant loops in there - especially with two servers that dual NICs that are bound together using an Intel "teaming" driver. Do I need to turn Spanning Tree on? It is recommended? Is it even going to work? Thanx for any input.
