Spanning Tree Protocol - N10-008 CompTIA Network+ : 2.3

[@twotoned2774]

I witnessed a loop about three years ago at my job. The other tech and I went to replace a computer and he didn't feel like moving the desk to see which cable came out the wall and which went to the switch. He placed the cable in the switch and left. About three hours later we went back to the main office and found supervisor troubleshooting the network. He gave us a time-frame when it may have occurred and I figured it out that a loop was created. It kicked our whole public works department offline until the cable was unplugged.

Hearing a real world example helps to understand this concept much better. Thanks for sharing :)

I like how you made sure to blame the other tech lol

@@FreeThink1984 it's definitely something I didn't do. If you work with him you would understand. He's very lazy and tries to take shortcuts in most circumstances.

My small business IT clients loved to interconnect, loop, switches.

[@nicole.9889]

Your visuals are always so helpful. Thank you for these videos!

Why are we talking bridges and not switches?

[@professormesser]

A switch is a type of bridge. The terms "switching" and "bridging" are interchangeable.
