# STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) Notes
* Classic Spanning Tree Protocol is IEEE 802.1D
* Switches from ALL vendors run STP by default
* STP prevents Layer 2 loops by placing redundant ports in a blocking state, essentially disabling the interface
* These interfaces act as backups that can enter a forwarding state if an active interface fails
