ELS100-S24TX2M
Spanning Tree Protocol in a Network
Figure A-1 illustrates the use of three ELS100-S24TX2M switches to 
establish an effective Spanning Tree configuration. Switches A, B and C 
are connected together in a redundant topology (more than one path 
between two points). If the connection between A and B goes down, the 
link between A and C becomes active, thereby establishing a path 
between A and B through switch C. Additionally, if the connection 
between B and C goes down, the link between A and C becomes active, 
establishing a path between B and C through switch A.
