Chapter 10: Spanning Tree Protocols

To
prevent
a
network
loop
among
the
switches,
STP
must
block
one
of
the
links
between
them.
In
this
case,
it
is
desired
that
STP
block
the
link
between
the
blade
switches,
and
not
one
of
the
NE2552E
uplinks
or
the
Enterprise
switch
LAG.
During
operation,
if
one
NE2552E
experiences
an
uplink
failure,
STP
will
activate
the
switch
‐
to
‐
switch
link
so
that
server
traffic
on
the
affected
NE2552E
may
pass
through
to
the
active
uplink
on
the
other
NE2552E,
as
shown
in
.
Figure 12.

Restoring
the
Switch
‐
to
‐
Switch
Link
In
this
example,
port
EXT1
on
each
switch
is
used
for
the
switch
‐
to
‐
switch
link.
To
ensure
that
the
NE2552E
switch
‐
to
‐
switch
link
is
blocked
during
normal
operation,
the
port
path
cost
is
set
to
a
higher
value
than
other
paths
in
the
network.
To
configure
the
port
path
cost
on
the
switch
‐
to
‐
switch
links
in
this
example,
use
the
following
commands
on
each
switch.
NE2552E(config)#
interface port EXT1
NE2552E(config-if)#
spanning-tree stp 1 path-cost 60000
