Application Report Abstract

IMPLEMENTING THE SPANNING TREE ALGORITHM USING TNETX15VE AND TNETX3150

The Spanning Tree Algorithm is an intelligent algorithm that is used to eliminate packet looping in Local Area Networks (LAN). This document provides a detailed discussion of the Spanning Tree Algorithm. Topics include Configuration Bridge Protocol Data Unit (CBPDU) messages, requirements, operation, and port states; VLAN-Engine Address-Lookup Device (TNETX15VE) and ThunderSWITCH* (TNETX3150) configuration.
