Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying a spanning tree loop in a network environment. Spanning tree loop indicators occurring in a network environment that utilizes a spanning tree protocol are identified. The spanning tree loop indicators are correlated to identify correlated spanning tree loop indicators within the network environment. A potential spanning tree loop is recognized from a plurality of the correlated spanning tree loop indicators based on indicator types of the correlated spanning tree loop indicators. The potential spanning tree loop is remedied in the network environment in response to recognizing the potential spanning tree loop in the network environment.
