Chapter 20 Configuring STP and Prestandard IEEE 802.1s MST Understanding How STP Works Listening State The listening state is the first transitional state a Layer 2 LAN port enters after the blocking state. The Layer 2 LAN port enters this state when STP determines that the Layer 2 LAN port should participate in frame forwarding. Figure 20-4 shows a Layer 2 LAN port in the listening state. Figure 20-4 Interface 2 in Listening State All segment frames Forwarding Station addresses Port 1 BPDUs Network management and data frames Filtering database System module Frame forwarding Data frames BPDUs Port 2 Network management frames S5693 Listening All segment frames BPDU and network management frames A Layer 2 LAN port in the listening state performs as follows: • Discards frames received from the attached segment. • Discards frames switched from another LAN port for forwarding. • Does not incorporate end station location into its address database. (There is no learning at this point, so there is no address database update.) • Receives BPDUs and directs them to the system module. • Receives, processes, and transmits BPDUs received from the system module. • Receives and responds to network management messages.
