Answer: Spanning-Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. Multiple active paths between stations cause loops in the network. If a loop exists in the network topology, the potential exists for duplication of messages. I had a loop in my original configuration. therefore it failed. For redundancy the spanning tree protocol forces certain redundant data paths in a standby/blocked state. i do not think tht with existing equipment and layout i wouldbe able to provide such a redundant network. thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
