connection is based on the STP calculation of the most
current Bridge and Port settings. Now, if Bridge A
broadcasts a packet to Bridge C, then Bridge C will drop the
packet at port 2 and the broadcast will end there.
Setting-up STP using values other than the defaults, can be
complex. Therefore, you are advised to keep the default
factory settings and STP will automatically assign root
bridges/ports and block loop connections. Influencing STP
to choose a particular switch as the root bridge using the
Priority setting, or influencing STP to choose a particular
port to block using the Port Priority and Port Cost settings
is, however, relatively straight forward.

In this example, only the default STP values are used.
