Hello Everyone,
I'm working with an organization that 400+ computer users. We bought cisco smart switch sg250 for purpose that will help our network avoiding the network loop. There are 6 sg250 /24 ports switch that we planned to configured as a non root switch plus the other sg250/24 ports that we plan to be configure as a root bridge sw. This is our first time using the cisco product and we want to managed each switch.
However, it been 2 months since we use this topology but we still encounter network dropped or loop sometime and I have hard time to trace. I've also trying a figured out if I miss configured our cisco sg250 /24 port switch STP protocol.
The following steps i was went through when i configure my STP
===================================================
1. Elect root bridge
2. Place root interface into a Forwarding State
3. Each non-root switch selects it root ports
4. Removing Links choose a designated ports
5. all other ports are put in a Blocking State
I do need some extra solution for cisco sg250 /24port STP configuration in-order for my department to protect from network loop.

Hi Marce1000
Thank you for sharing that great solution. I've use that documentation before, but im kind confuse if i can apply the same STP setting provide by the url below to all my 5 non root switches or i only apply for the root bridge only. Please help.
Any information will much appreciate.
thanks

- Using the bridge settings , the device with the lowest Priority will become the Root Bridge.
