The handshake that occurs between Switch 60 and Switch 100 follows the one described in the previous section
(“Handshake When No Root Port is Elected” on page 7-24). The former root bridge becomes a non-root bridge
and establishes a Root port (Figure 7.9).
However, since Switch 200 already had a Root port in a forwarding state, 802.1W uses the Proposing -> Proposed
-> Sync and Reroot -> Sync and Rerooted -> Rerooted and Synced -> Agreed handshake:
•
Proposing and Proposed – The Designated port on the new root bridge (Port4/Switch 60) sends an RST
BPDU that contains a proposing signal to Port4/Switch 200 to inform the port that it is ready to put itself in a
forwarding state (Figure 7.9). 802.1W algorithm determines that the RST BPDU that Port4/Switch 200
received is superior to what it can generate, so Port4/Switch 200 assumes a Root port role.
