Hi Ulrich,This is purely for simplifying the implementation at that stage. There are two STP roles that can be forwarding in STP: root role and designated role.By requiring that the FabricPath region is the root, we're in fact requiring that the forw...
Peter,I've just come across this thread by chance, I unfortunately don't follow this forum any more (I'm now working on FabricPath;-)I just wanted to mention that PVST simulation is only started on a port that receives "PVST" BPDUs.As a result, a Cis...
Hi Kevin,You are right on all your points. Basically, RSTP is run between MST region, and an RSTP bridge is considered as a region by itself. So the BPDU age is incremented each time a BPDU goes from a region to another. When BPDUs are travelling ins...
Hi Guiseppe, Nuno,Instance 0 always exists, even if there are no vlan mapped to it (it's the exception, we could not get rid of this one;-)I saw that the two aggregation switches are in the same region at least.However, the access switch is not part ...
I guess your firewall is operating in transparent mode. Basically you a have an ingress vlan and an egress vlan. You don't have to worry about STP. Actually, if you needed to configure STP so that your traffic goes through the firewall, that would be...
