Spanning tree protocol is used to prevent loops from forming in your network. The spanning tree algorithm creates a single path through the network by ensuring that if more than one path exists between two parts of a network, only one of these paths is used, while the others are blocked.
The P580 and P882 support common Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree. Rapid Spanning Tree provides faster recovery from network failures than common Spanning Tree provides.
All multiservice switches support the following four Spanning Tree configurations:
