Cisco Packet Tracer Student STP

hye, i got problem with my work. i already work on the cost of the port and the priority of the switch but seem not working. i want g1/1 on LSW5 to be blocked but now i only got g1/1 on LSW6 blocked. and this also can only use one vlan 1.

here is spanning-tree

Can you post a topology diagram?

how can i insert the photo? i can only insert image url....

I don't think there is an easy way to do it.

On the g1/1 link you're asking about: LSW5 is advertising a much lower root cost on that link, that is why it is fowarding and LSW6 is blocking. If you want LSW5 to block on that port it needs to advertise a higher root cost to LSW6. (try increasing the cost on LSW5's root port)

At the moment LSW5 is in the root path for two other switches, so the bottom half of the STP topology will be very different if you want that port to block.

Another thing to note, changing the port priority wont make any difference here. It is used when switches have multiple connections to each other with equal cost.

Ouh I see..thanks....by the way let say if there are 3 switches connected and form triangle...then 1 switch is selected as bridge root...is there possible for one of the bridge root to be blocked?

WastedHat

It's not possible, all of the ports on a root switch will always be Designated ports so they will always be forwarding. Every other switch directly connected to the root bridge will have root ports on those links.

It was a good idea to learn from a 3 switch topology, keep it simple to begin. There are a lot of examples that teach you STP with a 4 switch topology like this:

If you haven't seen that before look for some videos or labs online, you can learn a lot about STP with that topology.

WastedHat

Also you can make a topology with only 2 switches. But add 2 links between them like g1/1 and g1/2 and leave the cost at default.

Now changing the port priority will effect the switch on the other side.

I also think that way...but my lecturer said it's a way to do it...and I ask "is it using ENSP or Packet Tracer" and he said both also can...that's why I asking because he want us to find ourselves...
