Afternoon,
Performing Task 3.8 of Volume 1, I cannot duplicate the results in the DSG
If the links between Cat1 and Cat4 fail, the backup path should be the highest
port number to cat3. if this link fails, the highest port number to cat2
should come next in line. if changes are made on cat1, cat1 is only allowed
one interface command.
This task is to teach us to use the port-priority command to manipulate
spanning-tree, once all interfaces have a cost of 200000, manipulating the port
priority on cat2 port f1/0/24 in my case should cause that port to be used by
cat1.
Cat2-MST(config-if)# spanning-tree mst 0 port-priority 64
Cat2-MST(config-if)#^Z
Cat2-MST#sh span

Port f1/0/24 should be Root FWD, but is still blocking?? Any idea what I did
wrong or is this a bug? I have verified with CDP that CAT1 and CAT2 are
connected on f1/0/24.
