1.4 Scenario
Assume that you are a network administrator of a company. The company network
consists of two layers: core layer and access layer. The network uses a design that
supports network redundancy. STP will be used to prevent loops. The STP network should
include setting the bridge priority to control STP root bridge election, and configuration of
features to speed up STP route convergence.
1.5 Tasks
Step 1 Configure STP and verify the STP configuration.
Irrelevant interfaces must be disabled to ensure test result accuracy.

Shut down port interfaces Ethernet 0/0/1 on S3, Ethernet 0/0/13 and Ethernet 0/0/7 on S3;
GigabitEthernet 0/0/1, GigabitEthernet 0/0/2, GigabitEthernet 0/0/3, GigabitEthernet 0/0/13,
GigabitEthernet 0/0/14 on S1; GigabitEthernet 0/0/1, GigabitEthernet 0/0/2,
GigabitEthernet 0/0/3, GigabitEthernet 0/0/6, GigabitEthernet 0/0/7 on S2; as well as
Ethernet 0/0/1, Ethernet 0/0/14 and Ethernet 0/0/6 on S4 before starting STP configuration.
Ensure that the devices start without any configuration files. If STP is disabled, run the stp
enable command to enable STP.

Configure S2 as the root bridge and S1 as the backup root bridge using priority values.
The device with the same value for the CIST Bridge and CIST Root/ERPC is the root
bridge. A smaller bridge priority value indicates a higher bridge priority. Change the
priorities of S1 and S2 to 8192 and 4096 respectively so that S2 becomes the root bridge.
[S1]undo stp root
[S1]stp priority 8192

<S2>display stp

The highlighted lines in the preceding information indicate that S2 has become the new
root bridge.
Shut down interfaces Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/9 and Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/10 on S2 to isolate
S2.
<S1>display stp

The highlighted lines in the preceding information indicate that S1 becomes the root bridge
when S2 is faulty.
Re-enable the interfaces that have been disabled on S2.
[S2-GigabitEthernet0/0/9]undo shutdown
<S1>display stp
CIST Root/ERPC :4096 .d0d0-4ba6-ac20 / 20000
<S2>display stp

The highlighted lines in the preceding information indicate that S2 has been restored and
has become the root bridge once again.
Step 3Control root port election.
Run the display stp brief command on S1 to view the roles of the interfaces.
The preceding information shows that G0/0/9 is the root port and G0/0/10 is the alternate
port. You can change port priorities so that port interface G0/0/10 will become the root port
and G0/0/9 will become the alternate port.
Change priorities of G0/0/9 and G0/0/10 on S2.
The default port priority is 128. A larger port priority value indicates a lower priority. The
priorities of G0/0/9 and G0/0/10 on S2 are set to 32 and 16; therefore, G0/0/10 on S1
becomes the root port.
[S2-GigabitEthernet0/0/9]stp port priority 32
[S2-GigabitEthernet0/0/10]stp port priority 16
Note that the port priorities are changed on S2, not S1.

Run the display stp brief command on S1 to view the role of the interfaces.
The highlighted lines in the preceding information indicate that G0/0/10 on S1 has become
the root port and G0/0/9 has become the alternate port.
Shut down G0/0/10 on S1 and view the port roles.

The highlighted line in the preceding information indicates that G0/0/9 has become the root
port. Resume the default priorities of G0/0/9 and G0/0/10 on S2 and re-enable the
shutdown interfaces on S1.
[S2-GigabitEthernet0/0/9]undo stp port priority

1.7 Lab 5 Configuring RSTP
1.8 Learning Objectives
As a result of this lab section, you should achieve the following tasks:
• Enable and disable RSTP .
• Configuration of an edge port.
• Configuration of RSTP BPDU protection.
• Configuration of RSTP loop protection
1.9 Topology
Figure 3.2 RSTP topology

1.10 Scenario
Assume that you are a network administrator of a company. The company network
consists of two layers: core layer and access layer. The network uses a redundancy
design. RSTP will be used to prevent loops. You can configure features to speed up RSTP
route convergence at the edge network and configure RSTP protection function.
1.11 Tasks
Step 4 Preparing the environment
If you are starting this section with a non-configured device, begin here and then move to
step 3. For those continuing from previous labs, begin at step 2.
Irrelevant interfaces must be disabled to ensure test result accuracy.
Shut down port interfaces Ethernet 0/0/1 on S3, Ethernet 0/0/13 and Ethernet 0/0/7 on S3;
GigabitEthernet 0/0/1, GigabitEthernet 0/0/2, GigabitEthernet 0/0/3, GigabitEthernet 0/0/13,
GigabitEthernet 0/0/14 on S1; GigabitEthernet 0/0/1, GigabitEthernet 0/0/2,
GigabitEthernet 0/0/3, GigabitEthernet 0/0/6, GigabitEthernet 0/0/7 on S2; as well as
Ethernet 0/0/1, Ethernet 0/0/14 and Ethernet 0/0/6 on S4 before starting STP configuration.
Ensure that the devices start without any configuration files. If STP is disabled, run the stp
enable command to enable STP.
[Quidway]sysname S1

[Quidway]sysname S2
[Quidway]sysname S3
[Quidway]sysname S4

Step 5 Clean up the previous configuration
Remove the configured STP priority from S1 and S2, and assigned cost on S1.
[S1]undo stp priority

[S1]inter GigabitEthernet 0/0/9
[S1-GigabitEthernet0/0/9]undo stp cost
[S2]undo stp priority
Step 6 Configure RSTP and verify the RSTP configuration.
Configure S1 and S2 to use RSTP as the spanning tree protocol.

[S1]stp mode rstp
[S2]stp mode rstp
Run the display stp command to view brief information about RSTP.
[S1]display stp
-------[CIST Global Info][Mode RSTP]-------
CIST Bridge :32768.d0d0-4ba6-aab0
CIST Root/ERPC :32768.d0d0-4ba6-aab0 / 0 (This bridge is the root)
CIST RegRoot/IRPC :32768.d0d0-4ba6-aab0 / 0
[S2]display stp

-------[CIST Global Info][Mode RSTP]-------
CIST Bridge :32768.d0d0-4ba6-ac20
CIST Root/ERPC :32768.d0d0-4ba6-aab0 / 20000
CIST RegRoot/IRPC :32768.d0d0-4ba6-ac20 / 0
Step 7Configure an edge port.
Configure ports connected to the user terminals as edge ports. An edge port can transition
to the forwarding state without participating in the RSTP calculation. In this example,
interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 on S1 and S2 connect to a router and can be configured as
edge ports.
[S1-GigabitEthernet0/0/1]stp edged-port enable

[S2-GigabitEthernet0/0/1]stp edged-port enable
Step 8Configure BPDU protection.
Edge ports are directly connected to user terminal and will not receive BPDUs. Attackers
may send pseudo BPDUs to attack the switching device. If the edge ports receive the
BPDUs, the switching device configures the edge ports as non-edge ports and triggers a
new spanning tree calculation. Network flapping then occurs. BPDU protection can be
used to protect switching devices against malicious attacks.
Configure BPDU protection on both S1 and S2.
[S1]stp bpdu-protection

[S2]stp bpdu-protection
Run the display stp brief command to view the port protection.
0 GigabitEthernet0/0/1 DESI FORWARDING BPDU

After the configuration is complete, interface Gigabit Ethernet 0/0/1 on S1 and S2 shows
as supporting BPDU protection.
Step 9Configure Loop protection
On a network running RSTP, a switching device maintains the root port status and status
of alternate ports by receiving BPDUs from an upstream switching device. If the switching
device cannot receive BPDUs from the upstream device because of link congestion or
unidirectional-link failure, the switching device re-selects a root port. The original root port
becomes a designated port and the original discarding ports change to the Forwarding
state. This switching may cause network loops, which can be mitigated by configuring loop
protection.
Configure loop protection on both the root port and the alternate port.
[S2]display stp brief
G0/0/9 and G0/0/10 on S2 are now the root port and alternate port. Configure loop
protection on these two ports.
[S2-GigabitEthernet0/0/9]stp loop-protection

[S2-GigabitEthernet0/0/10]stp loop-protection
Run the display stp brief command to view the port protection.
0 GigabitEthernet0/0/9 ROOT FORWARDING LOOP
0 GigabitEthernet0/0/10 ALTE DISCARDING LOOP
Since S1 is root, all the ports are designated ports and therefore do not need to configure
loop protection. After completing the configuration, you may wish to set S2 as the root, and
configure loop protection on the root port and alternate port of S1 using the same process
as with S2.
