When changing the config from spanningtree port type network to spanningtree port type normal, does the link go downbreak i currently have 2 vpc domains connected with a vpc with bridge assurance enabled stp port type network. Pointtopoint links connect two spanning tree bridges only. First, stp might erroneously block ports that should have gone into the forwarding state. P2p shrthe interface is considered as a pointtopoint resp. A properly designed network strategically places the root bridge on a specific switch and modifies which ports should be designated ports that is, forwarding state and which ports should be alternate ports that is, discardingblocking state. Spanning tree protocol, rapid stp port costs port states. In brief mode, will not display interfaces that are administratively disabled or do not have a physical link.
We have two catalyst 4006 as core switchs in our network. The time spanning tree protocol stp takes to transition ports over to the forwarding state can cause problems.

Delay 15 sec aging time 300 sec interface role sts cost prio.
Whether it is seen as p2p or shared depends on the duplex setting. If a link type is set to p2p then the rstp does its think and quickly transitions the port into forwarding however if the link type is halfduplex or configured as shared in interface configuration mode by using the spanningtree link type shared then the switch does not transition the port quickly. They also know that little or no attention is paid to stp security. Best practices for root bridge on nxos netcraftsmen.

Additional stp protection mechanisms advanced stp tuning.
Find answers to cisco spanning tree from the expert community at experts exchange. For the other incorrect answer, c, the trunking status of a port does not impact the stp type as listed in the output. The ports on a switch with enabled spanning tree protocol stp are in one of the following five port states. This default ensures loopfree topologies when connecting cisco switches and is very useful in campus and access lans. Understanding rstp, configuring rapid spanning tree protocol, configuring rstp on ex series switches cli procedure, example. Rstp port types include normal, network, and edge ports. Configure the spanning tree link type sun ethernet fabric. An stp file may instead be an xmlbased analysis studio project information file that holds various settings and objects for analysis studio projects. It has some similarities with cisco systems multiple instances spanning tree protocol mistp, but there are some differences. Notice that the portfast ports are displayed with p2p edge.
Note the cisco ios software uses the port priority. Edgethe port is configured as an stp edge port either globally using the default command or directly on the interface and no bpdu has been received. It is obvious that is my issue because there is no way for traffic to traverse the trunk if the port. Display the configured or calculated interfacelevel spanningtree protocol can be either stp, rstp, or mstp parameters. Unfortunately, you are likely to come across lan hackers that are intimately familiar with stps inner workings.

Portchannels, vpcs, and spanning tree issues netcraftsmen. Catalyst 4500 series switch software configuration guide. Connectivity might be lost for traffic that would normally pass through this switch, but the rest of the network remains unaffected. A port that operates in fullduplex is assumed to be pointtopoint, while a halfduplex port is considered as a shared port by default. Generally, port priority is used as a tiebreaker in various stages of the spanningtree protocol algorithm which ultimately determines which ports are in the forwarding state and which ports are in the blocking state. We have a datacenter solution witch cisco 6500, 3750e and 2960 switches. The multiple spanning tree protocol mstp and algorithm, provides both simple and full.
The link type is automatically derived from the duplex mode of a port. I am no expert by any means on stp, but did not think a port would go to a bkn state if it was the only path back into the network. You know, we taught you about classic spanningtree protocol so that might have left a bitter taste in your mouth, but the reality is you cant learn rapid spanning tree protocol without having a solid foundation in classic. I have a ups plugged into an fa1048, an access port. The spanningtree portfast command sets the configuration mode interfaces port type. Answer b is correct because any port that is using half duplex, either through negotiation or by configuration, is considered to be a shared port, as noted with shr in the type column. Blocking listening learning forwarding disabled a switch does not enter any of these port states immediately except the blocking state.

Stp allows bridges and switches to communicate with each other so they can create a loop free topology. Other access layer and server layer switchs also catalyst 4006 connect to the two core switchs. Rapid spanning tree only edge a port that connects to a nonspanning tree device.
Unlike ist, this kind of instance comprises all static vlans. Normally, a port id is denoted in hexadecimals similar as 0x8015, which is equivalant to 128. In switch c, specify the interface for which the link type is to be configured. They realize how gulliblefor lack of a better termthe protocol actually is. Also if op does a show spanningtree vlan 1 he should see that the port towards the meraki is type p2p peerstp, which means its running traditional. Spanning tree port states, blocking, listening, learning.
If you configure a port connected to a layer 2 switch or bridge as an edge port, you might create a bridging loop. Then the configuration is verified by examining the stp for vlan 10 or examining the stp interface.
