So what happens if you turn off the Spanning Tree Protocol? Well, a lot of bad things. As I’ll explain in the brief Cisco CCNA training video above, there is no good reason to ever turn off STP. Without STP, switching loops will begin to occur very quickly, which will in turn lead to broadcasting storms. Broadcast storms are essentially when one broadcast is answered with multiple broadcasts, which in turn leads to even more broadcasts, eventually overloading the abilities of switches on the network.
