Configuring stp on ex series switches cli procedure 42. If a trunk link contains vlans 1, 2, and 3, it can then decide that vlans 1 and 2 should not take that path, but still allow vlan 3 to use it. So, each broadcast domain is a unique bridged internetwork that includes how the spanning tree protocol works.
Stp is enabled by default on all cisco switches, for all vlans. Solved how to enable spanning tree on hp procurve 2910al. Ensure all switches run pvst default on most cisco switches. With the advent of layer 3 switching in lan environments, bridging now competes. According to the documentation i have here specifically pertaining to the icx series, enabling pvst should be as simple as configuring spanningtree within each vlan. Pvstp is defined as pervlan virtual local area network spanning tree protocol cisco very rarely. Stp is based on an algorithm that was invented by radia perlman while she. Stp on switches with vlans implemented can introduce new problems as you enter the parallel universe of pervlan spanning tree protocol, such as a network that wont converge or different paths depending on packet direction. This will be discussed in lab 415 configuring multiple spanning tree protocol.
I have two catalyst 6503 sup2msfc2 6503a and 6503b connected with a layer2 trunk. This course covers all of the details surrounding spanningtree, concentrating on the original 802. The idea is that several vlans can be mapped to a reduced number of spanning tree instances because most networks do not need more than a few logical. By default, cisco catalyst 3550 switches used to build this scenario have spanning tree enabled in pvst mode. With pvst enabled, a bridge will run one spanning tree instance per vlan on the bridge.
