Objectives
Part 1: Configure VLANs
Part 2: Configure Spanning Tree PVST+ and Load Balancing
Part 3: Configure PortFast and BPDU Guard
Background
In this activity, you will configure VLANs and trunks, and examine and configure the Spanning Tree Protocol
primary and secondary root bridges. You will also optimize the switched topology using PVST+, PortFast, and
BPDU guard.
The root switch is responsible for generating BPDUs for STP 802.1D and is the focal point for spanning
tree to control traffic. The root switch must be capable of handling this additional load.
The placement of the root defines the active switched paths in the network. Random placement is likely
to lead to suboptimal paths. Ideally the root is in the distribution layer.
Consider the topology used in this activity. Of the six trunks configured, only three are carrying traffic.
While this prevents loops, it is a waste of resources. Because the root can be defined on the basis of the VLAN,
you can have some ports blocking for one VLAN and forwarding for another. This is demonstrated below.
