Figure 28: Incorrect tag-based STPD configuration
The tag-based network in
Figure 28
has the following configuration:
●
Switch 1 contains VLAN
Marketing
and VLAN
Sales
.
●
Switch 2 contains VLAN
Engineering
and VLAN
Sales
.
●
Switch 3 contains VLAN
Marketing
, VLAN
Engineering
, and VLAN
Sales
.
●
The tagged trunk connections for three switches form a triangular loop that is not permitted in an
STP topology.
●
All VLANs in each switch are members of the same STPD.
STP can block traffic between switch 1 and switch 3 by disabling the trunk ports for that connection on
each switch.
Switch 2 has no ports assigned to VLAN
Marketing
. Therefore, if the trunk for VLAN
Marketing
on
switches 1 and 3 is blocked, the traffic for VLAN
Marketing
will not be able to traverse the switches.
NOTE
If an STPD contains multiple VLANs, all VLANs should be configured on all ports in that domain, except for ports
that connect to hosts (edge ports).
