Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
STP is a layer 2 protocol, used for removing loops. For backup purpose we typically create backup links for important resources. In our scenario, all offices have backup links that create loops in topology. STP automatically removes layer 2 loops. STP multicasts frame that contain information about switch interfaces. These frames are called BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Units). Switch use BPDUs to learn network topology. If it found any loop, it will automatically remove that. To remove loop, STP disables port or ports that are causing it.
