Explanation

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to prevent network loops in a Layer 2 network, especially when multiple redundant links are created between switches. When multiple links are configured for redundancy (to increase throughput and provide failover capabilities), STP ensures that there are no loops by blocking one or more of the redundant paths while keeping the network topology loop-free. STP also allows for automatic failover in case one of the links goes down, ensuring network stability and preventing broadcast storms.
