Basic idea: Special messages (configuration messages) are passed between bridges, which contain enough information to do the following: • Select one of all the bridges in the network as the root bridge • Calculate the shortest path from the current bridge to the root bridge • For each LAN, select the bridge closest to the root bridge as the designated bridge, responsible for data forwarding on the LAN • The bridge selects a root port, the path given by the port is the best path from this bridge to the root bridge • Select ports (designated ports) included in the spanning tree except the root port
