Device
Comparison process
Port C1 receives the configuration BPDU of Port A2 {0, 0, 0,
Port A2}, finds that the received configuration BPDU is
superior to its existing configuration BPDU {2, 0, 2, Port C1},
and updates its configuration BPDU.
Port C2 receives the original configuration BPDU of Port B2 {1,
0, 1, Port B2}, finds that the received configuration BPDU is
superior to the existing configuration BPDU {2, 0, 2, Port C2},
and updates its configuration BPDU.
Device C compares the configuration BPDUs of all its ports,
decides that the configuration BPDU of Port C1 is the
optimum, and selects Port C1 as the root port with the
configuration BPDU unchanged.
Based on the configuration BPDU and path cost of the root
port, Device C calculates the configuration BPDU of Port C2
{0, 10, 2, Port C2}, and compares it with the existing
configuration BPDU of Port C2 {1, 0, 1, Port B2}. Device C
finds that the calculated configuration BPDU is superior to the
existing one, selects Port C2 as the designated port, and
replaces the configuration BPDU of Port C2 with the
calculated one.
Port C2 receives the updated configuration BPDU of Port B2
{0, 5, 1, Port B2}, finds that the received configuration BPDU
Device C
is superior to its existing configuration BPDU {0, 10, 2, Port
C2}, and updates its configuration BPDU.
Port C1 receives a periodic configuration BPDU {0, 0, 0, Port
A2} from Port A2, finds that it is the same as the existing
configuration BPDU, and discards the received one.
Device C finds that the root path cost of Port C1 (10) (root
path cost of the received configuration BPDU (0) plus path
cost of Port C1 (10)) is larger than that of Port C2 (9) (root
path cost of the received configuration BPDU (5) plus path
cost of Port C2 (4)), decides that the configuration BPDU of
Port C2 is the optimum, and selects Port C2 as the root port
with the configuration BPDU unchanged.
Based on the configuration BPDU and path cost of the root
port, Device C calculates a designated port configuration
BPDU for Port C1 {0, 9, 2, Port C1} and compares it with the
existing configuration BPDU of Port C1 {0, 0, 0, Port A2}.
Device C finds that the existing configuration BPDU is superior
to the calculated one and blocks Port C1 with the
configuration BPDU unchanged. Then Port C1 does not
forward data until a new event triggers a spanning tree
calculation process, for example, the link between Device B
and Device C is down.
In
Table 1
1, each configuration BPDU contains the following fields: root bridge ID, root path cost,
designated bridge ID, and designated port ID.
After the comparison processes described in
established, and the topology is shown in
Table 1
1, a spanning tree with Device A as the root bridge is
