Chapter 17 Configuring STP and MST Understanding How STP Works Figure 17-5 Interface 2 in Learning State All segment frames Forwarding Station addresses Port 1 BPDUs Network management and data frames Filtering database System module Frame forwarding Station addresses Data frames BPDUs Port 2 Network management frames S5694 Learning All segment frames BPDU and network management frames A Layer 2 LAN port in the learning state performs as follows: • Discards frames received from the attached segment. • Discards frames switched from another port for forwarding. • Incorporates end station location into its address database. • 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. Forwarding State A Layer 2 LAN port in the forwarding state forwards frames, as shown in Figure 17-6. The Layer 2 LAN port enters the forwarding state from the learning state.
