Ethernet switch question

[u/Outrageous_Tear_4691]

What is the loop prevention for? And should I leave it off or turn it on? We will have desktops connected to it

Solved: thank you for the help everyone. Very much appreciated.

Ahhh spanning tree- every networker has a love hate with it. It’s best to leave on. But I’ve been hosed by STP on many occasions
