VLAN 3.
6. On Switch2, configure FastEthernet ports 0/1 and 0/2 as trunk ports.
7. Configure Switch3 with the appropriate host name, create VLAN 3, and add FastEthernet port 0/4 to
VLAN 3.
8. On Switch3, configure FastEthernet ports 0/1 and 0/3 as trunk ports.
9. Verify the configuration by pinging from PC1 to PC2 (192.168.100.102). The ping should succeed.
Task 2: Configure the Router

This task involves configuring the router for basic network connectivity with the PCs.

Router1#ping 192.168.100.102
Task 3: Observe Spanning Tree

1. On Switch3, issue the following command to ensure that it is the root bridge:
Switch3(config)#spanning-tree vlan 3 priority 0
You can manually configure the bridge priority on switches by issuing the spanning-tree vlan-id
priority value command, where value is a number from 0 through 65535; the default priority is
32768. By issuing the spanning-tree vlan 3 priority 0 command, you can ensure that the switch
you select is the root bridge even if another device is added to the network with a default bridge
priority value and a lower MAC address. In most cases, the device with the lowest priority value
setting will be the root bridge. The only variation occurs when two devices have the same priority
value setting; in this case, the device with the lowest MAC address will be the root bridge. The
combination of the priority value setting and the MAC address is used to determine which device has
the highest bridge priority.
2. The solutions for the following steps are based on the following output:

Aging Time 15

------------------- ---- --- --------- -------- -----------------------------

a. The sample output from all the switches displays 000C.1380.3538 as the MAC address of
the root bridge for VLAN 3. The root bridge is the switch with the lowest bridge ID. The
bridge ID is composed of a 2-byte bridge priority and a 6-byte MAC address. The bridge priority
is considered first in the determination of the lowest bridge ID. When two or more switches
have the lowest priority value, the switch with the lowest MAC address becomes the root
bridge.
When a switch is powered on, it sends out bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) that contain the
switch’s bridge ID. As soon as a switch receives a BPDU with a lower bridge ID than the bridge
ID of the current root bridge, the switch will consider that BPDU to be superior, replace the root
bridge ID with the bridge ID from the BPDU, and recalculate the root port and port costs. This
can have an undesired effect on how packets are sent through a switched network. Therefore,
to ensure that a particular switch remains the root bridge, you must ensure that any other
switch you connect to the network has a higher priority value than the one you select.
b. The sample output from all the switches shows that the switches are running Per VLAN
Spanning-Tree (PVST) protocol. STP is used to determine the path that frames will take when
multiple paths are available. You can determine the protocol from the following line of the
sample output:
c. Switch3 is the root bridge. One way to determine which device is the root bridge is to look for
a line of output that contains the following text: This bridge is the root. In this scenario,
the output from Switch3 contains this line of text; therefore, Switch3 is the root bridge.
Another way to determine which device is the root bridge is to compare the root ID address
and the bridge ID address. The root ID address, which is the MAC address of the root bridge, is
the same for all three switches; in this scenario, the root ID address is 000C.1380.3538. The
bridge ID address is the MAC address of the local device. The output from Switch3 shows that
the MAC address of the root ID and bridge ID are the same; therefore, Switch3 is the root
bridge.
d. In the sample output, the root bridge has a priority of 0, as indicated in the following line from
the sample output:
Root ID Priority 0
e. FastEthernet 0/2 on Switch2 is in the blocking state, as indicated by the following line from the
sample output:
