Page 40: Multiple Vlan Considerations
Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Multiple VLAN Considerations Multiple VLAN Considerations Switches use a forwarding database to maintain awareness of which external devices are located on which VLANs. Some switches, such as the switches covered in this guide, have a multiple forwarding database, which means the switch allows multiple database entries of the same MAC address, with each entry showing the (different) source VLAN and source port.
Page 41 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Multiple VLAN Considerations drops the packet. This is not a problem for a switch with a multiple forwarding database because the switch allows multiple instances of a given MAC address; one for each valid destination. However, a switch with a single forwarding database allows only one instance of a given MAC address.

Page 65 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) 802.1Q VLAN Tagging N o t e Each 802.1Q-compliant VLAN must have its own unique VID number, and that VLAN must be given the same VID in every device in which it is configured. That is, if the Red VLAN has a VID of 10 in switch X, then 10 must also be used for the Red VID in switch Y.
Page 66 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) 802.1Q VLAN Tagging If all end nodes on a port comply with the 802.1Q standard and are ■ configured to use the correct VID, then, you can configure all VLAN assignments on a port as “Tagged” if doing so either makes it easier to manage your VLAN assignments, or if the authorized, inbound traffic for all VLANs on the port will be tagged.
Page 67 Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) 802.1Q VLAN Tagging The VLANs assigned to ports X4 - X6, Y2 - Y5 can all be untagged because ■ there is only one VLAN assigned per port. ■ Port X1 has two AppleTalk VLANs assigned, which means that one VLAN assigned to this port can be untagged and the other must be tagged.
Page 68: Special Vlan Types
Static Virtual LANs (VLANs) Special VLAN Types Special VLAN Types VLAN Support and the Default VLAN In the factory default configuration, VLAN support is enabled and all ports on the switch belong to the port-based, default VLAN (named DEFAULT_VLAN). This places all ports in the switch into one physical broadcast domain. In the factory-default state, the default VLAN is also the Primary VLAN.

Page 103 Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation Overview Multiple-Instance spanning tree operation (802.1s) ensures that only one active path exists between any two nodes in a spanning-tree instance. A spanning-tree instance comprises a unique set of VLANs, and belongs to a specific spanning-tree region. A region can comprise multiple spanning-tree instances (each with a different set of VLANs), and allows one active path among regions in a network.
Page 104 Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation Overview The logical and physical topologies resulting from these VLAN/Instance groupings result in blocking on different links for different VLANs: Region “A”: Logical Topology Path blocked for VLANs in instance 2.

Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) The 802.1D and 802.1w spanning tree protocols operate without regard to a network’s VLAN configuration, and maintain one common spanning tree throughout a bridged network. Thus, these protocols map one loop-free, logical topology on a given physical topology.
Page 106: Mstp Structure
Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) In a mesh environment, the default MSTP timer settings (Hello Time and Forward Delay) are usually adequate for MSTP operation. Because a packet crossing a mesh may traverse several links within the mesh, using smaller- than-default settings for the MSTP Hello Time and Forward Delay timers can cause unnecessary topology changes and end-node connectivity problems.
Page 107 Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CIST): The CIST identifies the regions in a network and administers the CIST root bridge for the network, the root bridge for each region, and the root bridge for each spanning-tree instance in each region.
Page 108: How Mstp Operates
Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) MSTI must initially exist in the IST instance of the same MST region. When you assign a static VLAN to an MSTI, the switch removes the VLAN from the IST instance. (Thus, you can assign a VLAN to only one MSTI in a given region.) All VLANs in an MSTI operate as part of the same single spanning tree topology.
Page 109 Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Between regions there is a single, active spanning-tree topology. How Separate Instances Affect MSTP Operation. Assigning different groups of VLANs to different instances ensures that those VLAN groups use independent forwarding paths. For example, in figure 4-3 each instance has a different forwarding path.
Page 110: Regions, Legacy Stp And Rstp Switches, And The Common Spanning Tree (Cst)
Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Within a region, traffic routed between VLANs in separate instances can take only one physical path. To ensure that traffic in all VLANs within a region can travel between regions, all of the boundary ports for each region should belong to all VLANs configured in the region.
Page 111: Mstp Operation With 802.1Q Vlans
Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) MSTP Operation with 802.1Q VLANs As indicated in the preceding sections, within a given MST instance, a single spanning tree is configured for all VLANs included in that instance. This means that if redundant physical links exist in separate VLANs within the same instance, MSTP blocks all but one of those links.
Page 112: Terminology
Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Terminology BPDU — Acronym for bridge protocol data unit. BPDUs are data messages that are exchanged between the switches within an extended LAN that use a spanning tree protocol topology. BPDU packets contain information on ports, addresses, priorities and costs and ensure that the data ends up where it was intended to go.
Page 113 Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) MSTP BPDU (MSTP Bridge Protocol Data Unit): These BPDUs carry region-specific information, such as the region identifier (region name and revision number). If a switch receives an MSTP BPDU with a region identifier that differs from its own, then the port on which that BPDU was received is on the boundary of the region in which the switch resides.
Page 114: Operating Rules
Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Operating Rules ■ All switches in a region must be configured with the same set of VLANs, as well as the same MST configuration name and MST configuration number. ■ Within a region, a VLAN can be allocated to either a single MSTI or to the region’s IST instance.
Page 115: Mstp Compatibility With Rstp Or Stp
Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) If a port on a switch configured for MSTP receives a legacy (STP/802.1D ■ or RSTP/802.1w) BPDU, it automatically operates as a legacy port. In this case, the MSTP switch interoperates with the connected STP or RSTP switch as a separate MST region.

Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation Configuring MSTP Note on Path Cost RSTP and MSTP implement a greater range of path costs than 802.1D STP, and use different default path cost values to account for higher network speeds.

Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation Loop Protection Loop Protection In cases where spanning tree cannot be used to prevent loops at the edge of the network, loop protection may provide a suitable alternative. Unlike spanning tree, however, loop protection is not a comprehensive loop detection feature and should only be enabled on untagged edge ports, that is, ports that connect to unmanaged switches and/or clients at the edge of the network.
Page 170: Configuring Loop Protection
Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation Loop Protection Configuring Loop Protection Loop protection provides protection against loops by transmitting loop protocol packets out of ports on which loop protection has been enabled.

Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively Using QoS Classifiers to Configure Quality of Service for Outbound Traffic Assigning an 802.1p Priority to IPv4 Packets on the Basis of Incoming DSCP One of the best uses for this option is on an interior switch where you want to honor (continue) a policy set on an edge switch.
Page 189 Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively Using QoS Classifiers to Configure Quality of Service for Outbound Traffic Operating Notes Different applications may use the same DSCP in their IP packets. Also, the same application may use multiple DSCPs if the application originates on different clients, servers, or other devices.

Page 191 Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively Using QoS Classifiers to Configure Quality of Service for Outbound Traffic Outbound IP packets with a DSCP of 000110 will have a priority of 7. Notice that codepoints 000000 and 001001 are named as DSCP policies by other codepoints (000001 and 000110 respectively).

Quality of Service (QoS): Managing Bandwidth More Effectively Using QoS Classifiers to Configure Quality of Service for Outbound Traffic QoS Source-Port Priority QoS Classifier Precedence: 2 The QoS source-port option enables you to use a packet’s source-port on the switch as a QoS classifier. Where a particular source-port classifier has the highest precedence in the switch for traffic entering through that port, then traffic received from the port is marked with the source-port classifier’s configured priority level.
