Understanding Spanning Tree Protocol (STP):
STP is used to prevent network loops in Ethernet networks by creating a spanning tree that selectively blocks some redundant paths.
Default Priority Value:
Bridge Priority: STP uses bridge priority to determine which switch becomes the root bridge. The default bridge priority value for most switches is 32768.
Priority Range: The bridge priority can be set in increments of 4096, ranging from 0 to 61440.
