The Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol will configure a simplyconnected active topology from the arbitrarily connected componentsof a Bridged Local Area Network into a single spanning tree,such that there is at most one data route between any two end stations,eliminating data loops.This thesis proposes a Virtual LAN Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol.This algorithm is proposed according to the features of Virtual LAN.With the operation of this algorithm, all the members belong to thesame VLAN will be included in an isolated Spanning Tree. And the spann-ing tree formed for a given VLAN will use as many connection devicesthat still not participate in any spanning tree topology before aspossible.
