One of connection would be blocked in Meraki switch?

[Merakibgp]

Hi there are three meraki switches A, B and C with full connection for each one. My question is whether there is the same spanning tree mechanism as Cisco general switch? for example, If switch A is root,  and port at switch B connected to switch A is designate port, the port at switch C connected to A would be blocked?  Thank you

Yes.  Except Meraki switches use RSTP by default.

Thank you so much for your reply. How can we know which switch is root?

You can statically configure it (info in the same link I published above).

If you look at a switch in the dashboard it will tell you that it is either the root, or which port the root is connected to.  Some examples are below.

Excellent explanation!
