Tutorial 3: 802.1d - Spanning Tree Protocol

This is the last part of the series introducing Spanning Tree Protocol.   We will walk through a few examples of how the states of ports changes as the network converges on topology events.

Tutorial 2: 802.1d - Spanning Tree Protocol

In this next tutorial, we will dive into a hands on lab to see how Spanning Tree Protocol works up close.   Before we do, I will be diverting some time into a program called dynamips.   It is an essential tool to set up before proceeding.

A recap on the process involved in preventing loops in network topologies and why loop happens.
