Objectives:
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- Identify the three main functions of a transparent bridge
- Articulate how Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) are used
- Describe how the root switch is elected and how the root and designated ports are chosen
- Identify the states a port goes through when STP is running and how long convergence can take
- Compare and contrast CST and PVST
- Configure and verify STP on your Catalyst switch
Topics:
- Transparent Bridging
- Introduction to the STP Algorithm
- STP Components and Operation
