STP – Spanning Tree Protocol
Original STP – IEEE 802.1D
Supports redundancy in a layer 2 network
Keeping a loop-free topoloy
Types of STP
CST: Common Spanning-Tree
PVST: Per-VLAN Spanning-Tree
PVST+: Per-VLAN Spanning-Tree Plus
Rapid-PVST: Rapid Spanning-Tree
Command Syntax
# sh spanning-tree
(config)# spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
(config)# no spanning-tree uplinkfast
(config)# no spanning-tree backbonefast
vlan vtp
Set one switch vtp operating mode as “server” and the other swtiches as “access”
Example: Setup sw0 as server by defining a vtp domain.
sw0 (config)# vtp domain ferdy
sw1 (config)# vtp mode client
sw2 (config)# vtp mode client
sw0# sh vlan
sw0# config t
sw0 (config)# vlan 10
sw0 (config-vlan)# name HR
sw0 (config-vlan)# vlan 20
sw0 (config-vlan)# name ACCT
sw0 (config-vlan)# do wr
sw0 (config)# vtp domain ferdy
sw0 (config)# do sh vtp status
sw0 (config)# int range f0/22-24
sw0 (config-if-range)# switchport mode trunk
sw0 (config-if-range)# do wr
sw0# sh int trunk
Set other switch switchport mode to access, example sw1.
sw1 (config)# vtp mode client
sw1 (config)# int range f0/1-15
sw1 (config-if-range)# switchport mode access
sw1 (config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
sw1 (config-if-range)# do wr
