Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for Beginners - Packet Tracer Demo

Visualize the Spanning Tree Protocol STP in action using Packet Tracer. In this demonstration you can see how STP stops loops in the network, prevents broadcast storms and mac address table instabilities, dynamically blocks and unbloacks ports and elects the root bridge! A great video for preparing for the new CCNA 200-301

I don't have to take crash course to learn about switches. I master myself just watching Dan Courses. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@reneoviedo3789]

OMG literally just in time, I needed this lecture so much... thank you!!

[@TheSadVirus]

You are a godsend. Great job at getting to the point, it makes it so much more understandable.

[@bluebraintech4168]

thank you MR.(......) this video 4 year ago but it is useful for me after 4 years 😇

[@bardockecool]

Thank you for the information! Easily accessible even for people new to this.

[@BanjoJimbo]

Thanks for explaining root cost and how a faster Ethernet port/cable decreases the root cost.

[@frankakor457]

I really appreciate you. You are a great teacher

[@Phreestylee]

Excellent review of STP. I needed the refresher and I subscribed as well.

[@qaiserbozdar1542]

I liked the way you explained the topic. You have best content regarding Computer Networking. From Now I am your student from Indus Valley.

[@elvinherrera8244]

Excellent simulation! Thank u!

Good Luck

Thanks Dan

[@mustafahamandi3046]

Can you create videos about the new CCNA series. I really like your training videos

[@100Copy.DaGoat]

Thanks. Much explain

[@adedejiemmanuel1]

Thank you.

[@dcwstl]

Absolutely love these videos! They are a great help. What is the program you are using to construct these layouts? I'd love to use them for practice.

[@tabishkhan9843]

The tool which is used in this video is Packet Tracer.Thanks

[@hiphop7457]

Hello! Where I can find this topology? Thanks!

[@musthas]

The best explanation from dot to dot to understand the spanning tree protocol. THANK YOU !!!!! I only have question which is, as we learned about in general about Network that normally in end to end communication the packet have headers such as source IP and desination IP so that packet reaches the right end user without loop, so why then in STP this loop is caused? Is there no Source IP and Dest. IP in Vlans transport layer?

[@ebenezeroseiayeh4614]

The STP is a layer 2 protocol and does not use IP address. By default, switches forward unknown packets and broadcast packets out of all ports except the originating port. This will create a loop and consume all available bandwidth and slowness in the network. STP is the mechanism to break the continuous loop in the network. For routers, when the TTL value decreases to zero, the packet would be dropped.

[@waynehatia7925]

Hi Dan, thank you so much for this video. I just wanted to find out, are you able to arrange the videos in the correct order that we're meant to be studying them?

[@soukainagadir448]

Oh I've also been struggling to find the right order of the videos

[@patio87]

@@soukainagadir448 He has everything in playlists on his channel.

[@iftequarahmed7487]

Awesome. Can we have advance STP.

[@AZNCart]

Nice explanation... maybe whats up with priority..would anyone mind 😊😊telling me that...Really appreciated

[@garvolt]

Can you upload the file for this so I can practice with STP

[@danscourses]

Sorry I am getting to this late but here is the file: drive.google.com/file/d/1BLS4ukUtNCkLTy7ME3FR0sm3TbUq4vOO/view?usp=sharing

[@elenazlota3825]

Hello Dan! First of all, congrats for yet another great video. Is there an email address where I could contact you?

[@babyalonoeabdullah7672]

Hey..i would like you to explain THE ENCORE
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

[@e.t3469]

moua

[@chrispainter3602]

Is it normal for STP to constantly broadcast?

[@jamesmacintosh5293]

dear friend,
i like your videos a lot and i also feel inspired to start a channel of my own. so i would like to know what tools in terms of hardware and software i need to be able to do so. what configurations my pc needs. what make of camera and what make of editing software (free or paid) you would like to recommend.
thanks a lot.

[@marconen.2412]

Thanks for the course! The link does not work.

[@firststepto]

Is that possible to provide this file that you saved ?

[@danscourses]

Here you go. I will also add it to the video description: drive.google.com/file/d/1BLS4ukUtNCkLTy7ME3FR0sm3TbUq4vOO/view?usp=sharing

[@michaelcook5585]

This video is constantly interrupted by ads, probably once every 2-3 minutes and it's a major distraction and annoyance. I can understand if you want to monetize your videos and get some compensation for your effort, but having ads in the middle of the video just degrades the quality for the learner. If you could keep ads to the beginning and end of the video that would be great.
