Overview
Learn about the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) algorithm in this comprehensive video from the CCNP ENCOR 350-401 course. Explore the necessity of STP, its functionality, and the detailed algorithm used to prevent layer 2 loops in networks. Dive into the process of root bridge election, root port selection, and designated port selection. Understand the various criteria used in these selections, including root cost, bridge ID, and port ID. Test your knowledge with an end-of-video quiz and benefit from free resources like flashcards and practice labs to enhance your learning experience. Perfect for those preparing for the CCNP ENCOR certification or looking to deepen their understanding of network protocols.
