Spanning Tree Protocol in Layer 2/Layer 3 Environments
The plug-and-play Spanning Tree protocol (STp), a layer 2 protocol that ensures a loop-free topology in bridged laNs, has been around for decades.
How to improve and harden spanning-tree configuration on ...
Loop protection Loop protection mechanism is used to prevent accidental loops that can occur when an unmanaged non-spanning-tree-capable equipment is connected and drops spanning-tree packets. When loop protection is enabled on a port, it sends out a loop protocol packet; if it then receives the same ...

A failure in the STA generally leads to a bridging loop (not a spanning tree loop, as you do not need STP to have a loop). Most customers that call Cisco Technical Support for spanning tree problems suspect a bug, but
Spanning Tree Interoperability
The following diagram depicts switch behavior with STP enabled. With spanning tree, traffic cannot loop because only one path is in forwarding state.

But practically, if all users in a certain bridging domain have connectivity issue at the same time, you can already suspect a bridging loop. Check the port utilization on your devices and look for abnormal values.

The worst case scenario is when a bridge sending BPDUs is configured for half-duplex on a link whereas its peer is configured full duplex. In the above example, the duplex mismatch on the link between bridge A and B can easily lead to a bridging loop.
