Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt Groups, and VTP Snooping
Spanning Tree, it is possible that in order to break the loop in VLAN
A that a port that is blocked causes a loss of connectivity in VLAN B.
Running per-VLAN Spanning Tree would correct the problem.
* Note: 802.1D configurations are typically used when only one
VLAN is configured.
Figure 4-6. Problems with 802.1D Spanning Tree
* Note: You should have a good understanding of the Spanning
Tree Protocol before attempting to setup management
parameters. Because of the number of "bridges" present
in a switched networking environment, Spanning Tree
Protocol structures can become extremely complex. For
more information, refer to "Spanning Tree Modes" in
Chapter 1.
You can manage the Spanning Tree Protocol using either the Web
Agent or the CLI.
To manage Spanning Tree Protocol using the Web Agent:
1. Select Spanning Tree from the L2 Switching folder on the
Web Agent window. The Spanning Tree Information
window opens (Figure 4-7).
