Chapter 15: Spanning Tree Protocol Commands

242

Section III: Spanning Tree Protocols

B - Forwards ingress spanning tree BPDU and 802.1x EAPOL packets
across all VLANs and ports. This is the default setting. The stack behaves
as follows:

ˆ

If STP, RSTP, and MSTP are disabled, ingress BPDUs are flooded
on all ports.

ˆ

If STP, RSTP, MSTP, and 802.1x are disabled on the stack,
BPDUs and EAPOL packets are flooded on all ports.

ˆ

If the stack is running STP or RSTP and 802.1x is disabled,
EAPOL packets are flooded on all ports, except ports in the
blocking state.

ˆ

If the stack is running MSTP and 802.1x is disabled, EAPOL
packets are flooded on all ports, including ports in the blocking
state.

C - Forwards ingress BPDU and EAPOL packets only on untagged ports
of the VLAN where the ingress port is a member. Packets are not
forwarded from tagged ports. The VLAN is identified by the PVID assigned
to the ingress port.

D - Forwards ingress BPDU and EAP packets from both tagged and
untagged ports of the VLAN where the ingress port is a member. The
VLAN is identified by the PVID assigned to the ingress port.

Example

The following command sets the stack’s mode to A, blocking all ingress
BPDUs and 802.1 EAPOL packets:

set switch multicastmode=a
