Any Layer-2 switched network with two or more switches providing redundant paths between endpoints will have to deal with the problem of bridging loops. It was for this reason that Spanning-Tree was developed, as a protocol to mitigate this problem. In this Bootcamp, you will be exposed to the Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol (RSTP) and how to implement this protocol. Cisco IOS-based switches as well as Juniper switches will be utilized to demonstrate the operation of RSTP as well as giving you the opportunity for hands-on lab practice. You will learn how to verify the proper operation of this protocol using Cisco IOS and JunOS-based commands, as well as various ways to manipulate its operation. From the deterministic placement of the STP Root Bridge to manual load-balancing of VLAN traffic you will become proficient with the implementation of RSTP.
