What is a purpose of using a spanning tree protocol?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

A broadcast storm is a network condition where a large number of broadcast packets are sent and received by multiple devices, causing congestion and performance degradation1.A broadcast storm can occur when there are loops in the network topology, meaning that there are multiple paths between two devices2.

A spanning tree protocol is a network protocol that prevents loops from being formed when switches or bridges are interconnected via multiple paths.It does this by creating a logical tree structure that spans all the devices in the network, and disabling or blocking the links that are not part of the tree, leaving a single active path between any two devices3.

By eliminating loops, a spanning tree protocol also eliminates broadcast storms, as broadcast packets will not be forwarded endlessly along the looped paths.Instead, broadcast packets will be sent only along the tree structure, reaching each device once and avoiding congestion3.

C) to route IP packets? Nah, that's what routing protocols are for. Spanning tree is all about keeping that Ethernet network loop-free.

I believe it also helps in creating a loop-free topology in a network.

D) to tunnel Ethernet frames? That's a good one! I bet the person who came up with that option was feeling a little 'out there' that day.

Hmm, I think it's A) to look up MAC addresses. Isn't that what the spanning tree table is used for?
