Spanning Tree And Non-Mobile Groups - Alcatel Omni Switch/Router User Manual

Non-Mobile Groups and AutoTracker VLANs

Spanning Tree and Non-Mobile Groups

Each Group uses one Spanning Tree for bridging. The OmniS/R supports both 802.1d and
Spanning Tree protocols. The Spanning Tree state for the port is Forwarding. Ports that
IBM
are in Blocked state, or in another non-Forwarding state, will not receive frames from the
router port. The figure below illustrates this concept.
Routed frames received
because attached port
is in Forwarding state.
