For example, Port3/Switch 2 in Figure 7.20, fails. Port4/Switch 3 becomes the new Root port. Port4/Switch 3
sends an RST BPDU with a TCN to Port4/Switch 4. To propagate the topology change, Port4/Switch 4 then starts
a TCN timer on itself, on the bridge’s Root port, and on other ports on that bridge with a Designated role. Then
Port3/Switch 4 sends RST BPDU with the TCN to Port4/Switch 2. (Note the new active Layer 2 path in Figure
7.20.)
