2.1.2 Lab - Observe STP Topology Changes and Implement RSTP

Addressing Table

Device	Interface	IPv4 Address
D1	VLAN1	10.0.0.1/8
D2	VLAN1	10.0.0.2/8
A1	VLAN1	10.0.0.3/8

Objectives:

• Step 1. Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

• Step 2. Observe STP Convergence and Topology Change

• Step 3. Configure and Verify Rapid Spanning Tree

Background/Scenario

Spanning Tree helps us prevent Layer 2 network loops. Switch and Bridge are interchangeably used throughout the lab.

Part 1. Build Network and Configure Basic Device Settings and Interface Addressing

Part 2. Discover the Default Spanning Tree

Part 3. Implement and Observe Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
