The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is an older network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network.The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them.he spanning tree is not necessarily a minimum cost spanning tree. A network administrator can reduce the cost of a spanning tree, if necessary, by altering some of the configuration parameters in such a way as to affect the choice of the root of the spanning tree.
The spanning-tree protocol is always running even when the port is in forwarding state so that it can still detect loops, however the use of Portfast should only be implemented when the port on the switch is directly connected to a server/workstation and never to another hub/switch.
