Spanning tree of routing bridge

Good day to all

I have a problem in my network with an old device with a 10mbit half duplex nic - we have switches Powerconnect N3048 in basket - we found that they don't play well with the old device, so we added a 1000/100 old switch to do the translation so to speak.

The problem now is that STP has not been configured in time and the older switch has taken the role of routing bridge.

My question is - if I have now set up the N3048 be the bridge on the road, I'll be able to do without affecting the production network traffic, or do I need to down the network to make the change?  Will be the change of the switch N3048 force older to cede control, or they will fight?

Thanks in advance

Eric

By default most of the switches will have a default priority of 32768. In this case, the switches, then use to determine MAC address which is the root device. If this is the case in this scenario, all you have to do is set a less important priority tree covering the desired root switch.

On your central switch, issue the following command:

console (config) #spanning 4096 tree priority

This switch will become the root switch. Should not all switches to be restarted, but will cause a topology of notifications of changes throughout the network, and some ports may change their current status. It depends on the topology.

I could do this during non peak hours. May also want to check the switch that you added to the network and make sure that it doesn't have a priority tree covering of 4096. If this is the case, set it to something higher.

  • How can I configure Spanning Tree

    Hello

    I have several core Dell passes using PowerConnect 6224 s most - these ink in my Cisco provider kit. We run several VLAN and have redundant links between stacked switches.

    I have read up on top of the tree covering weight and have the following tasks:

    1 map of the network - including the ID of the root bridge, root ports, roads blocked, age max and time of helo

    Once I made my analysis information, I don't know how to better optimize the covering tree config, so far I have:

    1. make sure RSTP is enabled on all switches
    2. make sure that all edge ports have spanning port configured fast shaft
    3. not declare spanning port fast shaft on the links between switches
    4 force speed and duplex settings on all ports to link between the switches (I guess that's because the auto negotiate takes more time?)

    I'm not sure is:
    1 can I use BPDU guard and if so, where?
    2 can I use root guard and if so, where?

    I read the informative article by Todd: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/t/19465205.aspx

    But, I don't know where\whether I should to configure the options of guard - am happy to provide additional information as needed.

    Thank you

    Spanning Tree BPDU Guard is used to disable the port where a new device tries to enter the already

    existing STP topology. Thus the devices, which were originally not part of STP, are not allowed to

    influence the STP topology. If the Enable value, when a BPDU is received on a port of the tip, this port is disabled. Once the port has been disabled it requires manual intervention to be reactivated.

    Spanning Tree Root Guard is used to prevent change of the root of a Spanning Tree instance

    in an unexpected way. The priority of an ID of adjustable bridge to zero but another bridge with a low mac ID

    address could also set its priority to zero and take root.

    Both are defined globally on the switch. If you have any possibility of other network devices being plugged into the switch without your knowledge. It may be a good idea to these permits after that STP is configured on the network. That way if someone randomly connected network with STP on this device, it will not throw your network for a loop.

  • SGE2010 switches, VLAN and a port blocked by spanning tree

    People,

    I have 2 groups of switch.

    SGE2010 2 with VLANS is defined as 10,20 and 30

    VLAN 10 is the management VLAN and it uplinks to our border router.

    VLAN 20 is the workstation VLAN, and all workstations are pointing to the switch as their default GW

    VLAN 30 is the ip phone VLANS, and all phones use this as a gateway.

    I have a GAP between the switches said, we have a few servers on the ip phone switch that must be accessed by the clients of the workstation and the unique link of 100 MB through the router probably won't be enough.

    If I understand correctly, because the switches have different networks on them, a simple shift will not work. I did create a gap and addresses on each side, but it does not appear in this mode, I can block vlan 10 transit to the LAG, with this block I'll end with a logic loop and spanning tree will block the uplinks or LAG itself.

    I have attached a picture with a diagram of our current put in place.

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

    John, the 802 standard. 1 initial q indicates there isn't only global tree covering weight independently of belonging to a vlan. It's why you run into problems. Cisco has developed PVST to run on circuits of the ISL. BPMH was originally defined as 802. 1s, which is a combination of 802. 1 q + RSTP. The 802. 1s were later modified to become part of the 802. 1 q.

    The person is incorrect, because they cite "because spanning tree is construction by vlan. They are incorrect, because you have to set the properties of tree cover to allow the spanning tree protocols by vlan. Small business switches do not support the owner Cisco PVST and PVST +. However, the SB switches support BPMH which is a standard of the IEEE.

    How works the BPMH, it's that you have called proceeding, i.e. each construction covering tree. Then you have the region, SB switches support only 1 region. The region maintains the instances. Basically how it works, you activate the EMU at the global level. Then, you specify the instance. As an example, the vlan 1 is instance 1. VLAN 2 is 2.  This will allow you to run 2 physical wires between switches vlan different without looping. If you use classic STP or RSTP, the least costly path will go to the State to block/cast who works as expected.

  • Is the spanning tree bpdu filtering on the 5548 "bpdufilter default spanning-tree portfast'

    It seems to me as "the protocols spanning-tree bpdu filtering" on the 5548 the same "spanning-tree portfast default bpdufilter" on the switches of the series N - is that correct?  If this is not the case, what is the equivalent command to 'spanning-tree portfast default bpdufilter?

    Ken

    They lead to the same result, just with a little different method. N-series bpdufilter search all ports configured for portfast and disables the transmission and reception of BPDUS on these interfaces. With the looks of 5548 bpdufiltering for ports with covering weight tree disabled. There is not a command on the 5548 that will search interfaces in portfast mode and filter the BPDU.

  • Prevent advertising outgoing packets Spanning tree

    Hello

    I have a switch 2960 with a workstation that is connected.

    The switchport is configured for the portfast and the BPDUguard is enabled on the default switch

    When I have wireshark information on the connected pc then I see a lot of STP packets from the switch.

    I would like to disable these messages because the information located in the capture packets can be abused by an attacker who has access to this workstation, for the configuration of protocols spanning-tree of the company information.

    Is it possible to disable the spanning tree information that is sent from the switch?

    concerning

    Jan

    You should be able to configure bpdufilter to stop it. The only problem is that effectively stop you stp on this port, which could be dangerous.

    Understanding of the functioning of PortFast BPDU filtering

    BPDU filtering allows to avoid transmitting BPDUS on active PortFast ports that are connected to an end system.  When you enable PortFast on the switch, protocols spanning tree ports place in State shipping immediately, instead of going through the listening and learning States of transfer.

    By default, the tree covering weight sends BPDUS of all ports PortFast is only enabled or not. BDPU filtering is on a per-switch basis; After you enable BPDU filtering, it applies to all active ports PortFast on the switch.

  • Linksys - router bridge - E8350 path not found network

    Dear community of Linksys,

    I recently bought a Linksys E8350 router, to replace the old AP in my network domestic.

    To make the installer of my clear network, I did a little diagram:

    So, as you can see, at the top left is the router/modem provided by my internet provider (Telenet, Belgium).

    I have a wired connection in my room, where I have my desktop and NAS connected computer. I also plugged the

    Linksys E8350 that is configured in Bridge mode. My laptop is connected wireless to the E8350.

    On the E8350, I disabled DHCP and NAT and gave him a static IP outside the range of my other router.

    My problem:

    When I go to the network through windows file Explorer, I can see my desktop from my laptop and vice versa.

    But when I double click to access one of them, I get the error message "network path not found".

    Connection via start > \\Computer-name gives the same error.

    Since my laptop or my desktop, I can see my NAS on the network. I have internet on all my devices:

    My office through internet cable connection, my laptop has wireless internet connection trough

    and I can evaluate my NAS from the internet.

    When I remove the E8350 entirely from my network and connect my laptop a hollow wired connection.

    everything works fine. I can see all the devices on the network, connect to my NAS and share files between computers.

    Things I tried already:

    -My PC and laptop are both in a 'private network '.

    -J' disabled my firewall

    -Everything is activated in the menu "sharing advanced settings."

    -J' tried to connect the E8350 to the switch via the Ethernet or WLAN port, nor to solve the problem

    -J' tried to change the NETBIOS settings

    -I don't have your antivirus software that might interfere with something

    -J' updated the firmware on my linksys router to the latest version

    To be clear, the problem occurs when I put the E8350 in my network, otherwise everything works perfectly.

    I hope that I have provided some information decent on my problem, because I can't seem to figure it out myself.

    Thank you in advance.

    Pindox

    The topology of your network is effective from your diagram. With the E8350 in mode bridge in this topology is WAN is connected to the network switch.

    Many devices of bridge no hand NetBios address very well. In some cases, the best way to access the network through a bridge device resources is to use remote devices IP address instead of its computer\device network name.

    In Windows, you can drive old school card NAS records using the IP address of the Servers\NAS:

    PC command line:

    NET use s: \\192.168.0.3\my_nas_folder / persistent: Yes

  • Spanning tree Distribution Switch Port is root for all the VLANS

    Hello world.

    Uplink to switch on 2 layer network flat if Distribution change a.

    This distribution uplink port is Root Port.

    Core switch port goes to the Distribution switch appears as State PLEASE FWD.

    It will cause slow for users who are connected to the network on the Distribution switch?

    According to my understanding core should be Root STP for all the right of VLAN?

    If necessary how can I make kernel as root port switch port?

    Thank you

    MAhesh

    Hello

    a root is a designated port (if shipping port) on a non-root bridgewhich a path root the lowest cost to the root bridge. So there is nothing unusual here, and your kernel needs to be done to root bridge if you run STP between distribution and kernel as you apparently.

    Kind regards.

  • migration 6509e 7009

    We are migrating from a 6509e to Nexus 7 k. In the design we will be refreshing the IP addressing infrastructure and VLANs. My goal is to have two switches are running side by side until the migration is complete.

    Currently a single 6509 is my heart, creation of the VTP domain and root bridge. We install a unique 7K with the new IP addressing scheme and VLAN again. I want to go to the DERIVATIVE and root, bridge above the 7K, but I'm wanting to know if it is possible to do the migration without any effect on the current infrastructure.

    1 would be there any detrimental effect of disabling VTP on the 6509 and then implement the VTP on the 7 K field?

    2 should there be concerns about protocols spanning-tree with root bridge passage to the 7 K?

    Additional information:

    Old IP address is 172.25.x.x

    The new IP address is 10.x.x.x

    VLAN old will be inplay until the migration is complete

    New VLAN is completely different from the old numbering. no overlap.

    Thanks for the tips or thoughts.

    Dave

    Hi Dave,.

    If you use the same VLAN or some of them, then it is better to have a trunk between N7K and Cat65k

    allow only the vlan shared between them that will be migrated, continue the 65K as the root, once everything is in place do the N7K as root

    Since this is the only box it is easier that you do not use any HSRP, in this case

    also it is a good document of Cisco.com on migration QoS of 65 K N7K you could read for more information

    Keep VTP transparent on both

    hope this helps

    Switches: 3560

    routers: 2811

    AP: 1552e

    We have 4 1552 AP we would like for installation in a point-to-point environment. Currently, they are light but would make us independent for this scenario, unless there is a feature in the controller that would achieve what it takes I don't know.

    We would like to implement in pairs on each side with the 1st goal consisting of high-availability so if one goes down there is still connectivity. Our second objective would be to use the two AP for higher bandwidth.

    I thought I'd try to configure a port channel, but as I read it, you can't do it, but I would like to know if I'm wrong. I saw where someone else tried to do the same thing in the forums and there were some responses, but the links do not work for me.

    Just look at showing up in the best possible direction. It seems that routing should take care of what we need, but would like to see if there are any other avenues.

    Thanks in advance.

    The best thing you can do is to configure each P2P connection as a trunk and use priority of vlan spanning tree in order to balance traffic between the two links.  You can't really bundle, because the bridge that sends the traffic expected for the traffic to come back through it.  It's the best way to use the two bridges, this is how it has been done in the past and how its still quite well done.
