In this blog, we will explore the different loop prevention protocols used in Layer 2 networks, including 802.1D (Common Tree), PVST+, 802.1w (Rapid Tree Protocol), RPVST+, and 802.1s (Multiple Tree Protocol). Each approach has its own advantages and limitations, and understanding these differences can help you make informed decisions when designing and managing efficient and stable network environments.
