Consider the switched network shown in the figure below. Compute the Spanning Tree of this network.
|
|
Consider the switched network shown in Fig. 1. What is the spanning tree that will be computed by 802.1d in this network assuming that all links have a unit cost ? Indicate the state of each port.

|
Consider the switched network shown in Fig. 1. In this network, assume that the LAN between switches S3 and S12 fails. How should the switches update their port/address tables after the link failure ?
|
|
Consider the network depicted in Fig. 5. Both of the hosts `H0` and `H1` have two interfaces: one connected to the switch `S0` and the other one to the switch `S1`. Will the link between `S0` and `S1` ever be used? If so, under which assumptions? Provide a comprehensive answer.

By using :manpage:`brtcl(8)`, we can easily observe the state of the Spanning Tree protocol on the different switches. Let us start with ``s3``, i.e. the root of the Spanning Tree.
