What is the primary purpose of implementing a spanning tree protocol in a network?
To prevent switching loops in a broadcast domain
To improve network performance by selecting the fastest paths
To expand network coverage area
To manage collision domains within the network
The correct answer is 'To prevent switching loops in a broadcast domain'. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is essential in a layered network to prevent loops, which can create broadcast storms and destabilize network communications. While improving performance and expanding network coverage are beneficial outcomes of many network protocols, they are not the primary functions of the spanning tree protocol. As for managing collision domains, that is primarily addressed by switching devices and protocols at a different layer.
