Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt Groups, and VTP Snooping

Assigning Ports to VLANs

Refer to “Configuring Switch Port Parameters,” in Chapter 5 for

instructions on assigning ports to VLANs.

CAUTION

Before changing the VLAN that a port is assigned to, you must

remove the port from the hunt group that the port is assigned to. Do

not attempt to change the VLAN and remove the port from the hunt

group simultaneously. If you do, the switch assigns all ports in the

hunt group to the new VLAN.

Spanning Tree Protocol Implementation

This section introduces Spanning Tree Protocol, explains how it

operates, and provides configuration procedures.

What is

Spanning Tree

Protocol

The Spanning Tree Protocol is a layer 2 or bridging protocol that

provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the

bridged network. The Spanning Tree Protocol algorithm creates a

single path through the network by ensuring that if more than one

path exists between two parts of a network, only one of these paths

is used, while the others are blocked.

* Note: The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Port Priority range has

been changed. The values are now 1 to 15. If you

changed the default range in an earlier release, you

should verify that the priority is within the allowed

range.

For more detailed information about the Spanning Tree Protocol,

refer to the IEEE 802.1D standard for Media Access Control (MAC)

bridges.
