Protocol is timer driven Too short timers can give loops and instabilities Too long timers can give long convergence times

RSTP vs STP
RSTP has two more port designations
Alternate Portbackup for Root Port Backup portbackup for Designated Port on the segment
Moving stations without reconfigurations Create virtual workgroups Keep broadcasts isolated Keep different protocols from each other

load sharing
One common spanning tree (CST) for the entire network MSTP based on RSTP (Rapid STP)

Autonegotiation
Ethernet Autonegotiation
Incompatible rx/tx modes
Full/half duplex 10/100/1000 Mb/s
Autonegotiation to allow two devices to agree on speed and duplex mode Based on 10BASE-T heartbeat
Normal Link Pulse Sent every 16 ms on idle link
34
Misconfiguration problems
Connectivity loss or performance degradation 35
Flow control
Full duplex mode only Negotiated through auto-negotiation

CFI 1 bit
Class of Service
User Priority field in IEEE 802.1Q header 0 7, with 7 as highest priority value

Code points are unique within a domain but may change at domain borders
An ingress node aggregates packets into behavior aggregates, each marked by a unique code point (DSCP)

Multicast
Multicast traffic is, by default, flooded
Increases traffic load
Like ICMP Monitor Membership Reports and Leave Reports Only forward multicast frames to ports where there are receivers
25 static bits (01:00:5e:0) plus last 23 bits from IP address Hashingmultiple IP addresses map to the same MAC address
