stp
The BIG-IP IP Application Switch provides Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
implementation for loop resolution in configurations where one or more
external switches is connected in parallel with the BIG-IP. This feature
allows you to configure two or more interfaces on the platform as an STP
domain. For interfaces in the STP domain, the spanning tree algorithm
identifies the most efficient path between the network segments, and
establishes the switch associated with that path as the root. Links forming
redundant paths are shut down, to be re-activated only if the root fails.
The STP domain should contain all ports that are connected in parallel to an
external switch where there are nodes on the link capable of generating or
receiving traffic. You will want a second domain if there is an additional
switch or switches connected in parallel with additional BIG-IP interfaces.
