Spanning Tree VLAN Priority Issue
We have two 6500E switches and running spanning tree with rapid-pvst.We have also configured per vlan spanning tree priority with 100,200 so odd vlan have one switch hight priority and even vlans have another switch high priority.
I have created new vlan 10 and tring to add spanning tree priority to the switches i am getting the following error
Core-switch(config)#spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 100
% Bridge Priority must be in increments of 4096.
% Allowed values are:
0 4096 8192 12288 16384 20480 24576 28672
32768 36864 40960 45056 49152 53248 57344 61440
Can some experts help me why i am getting the above message and how can i add the priority to the same as existing vlans
Hi ,
Spanning tree priority can be set in increment of 4096 , any other values will be rejected . if you want to know about priority value of existing vlan execute command show spanning-tree vlan X / show spanning-tree command which will show you switch priority value
Step 2
spanning-tree vlan vlan-idpriority priority
Configure the switch priority of a VLAN.
•For vlan-id, you can specify a single VLAN identified by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1 to 4094.
•For priority, the range is 0 to 61440 in increments of 4096; the default is 32768. The lower the number, the more likely the switch will be chosen as the root switch.
Valid priority values are 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384, 20480, 24576, 28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056, 49152, 53248, 57344, and 61440. All other values are rejected.

Hi,
I have noticed that two of my switches has "spanning-tree vlan 1002-1005" in my running configuration. Since we are not using those vlans, I was thinking of removing it from our running configuration by doing "no spanning-tree vlan 1002-1005". Is that possible? Would there be any issues should I remove it?VLANs 1002-1005 are special default VLANs for Token Ring and FDDI. If you do not have those tachnologies, then you are probably not using those VLANs. Do the VLANs exist in the VTPS domain? If not, you should be able to get rid of them altogether.
When you do a "show vlan 1002" on those switches, do you see any active ports? NOte that some switches allow you to clear these VLANs from a trunk, and some do not.

No Spanning-Tree Vlan # on C2950
Hello everyone,
I've recently found that one of the switches on my network (which I never set up) is running a "no spanning-tree vlan 3, 5, 10" command, which I want to remove, but I have been unable to. When I do try and type in "spanning-tree vlan 3" nothing comes up, but when I show spanning tree it lets me know that it doesn't exist.
Is there a command I'm missing? (It's a larger number of vlans)
Thanks in advance,
DavidI'm not sure there would be anything for spanning tree to calculate if no ports on the switch are assigned to vlan 3. Try assigning an unused port to vlan 3 and see if your output of sh spanning-tree vlan 3 changes.

Hello,
When we type "sh spanning-tree vlan X detail", then we have :
- Number of topology changes : Y
- Times.... topology changes : Z
- Timers... topology changes : T
Is Y the number fo TC in vlan X ?
Is Z the number of TC in all vlans ?
What about T ?
Thanks,
NavidI think T is Y the no. of Tc in VLAN X.

I have 2 cisco c2950 switches, I have 2 problems:
1- I can't create more than 1001 vlan..(I have configured the both switches with vtp transparent mode).
2- when I issue the command (sh vtp status), I noticed that vlans supported locally 64 & number of existing vlans are 63.
(a)does that means Spantree won't operate after vlan number 64. If so? how would I solve this issue?
(b) what is the possiblity that allows me to assign more than 1001 (Extended vlans) in cisco c2950 series?Hi Friend,
Catalyst 2950 switches that run the standard software image (SI) support 64 VLANs; Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 2955 switches that run the enhanced software image (EI) support 250 VLANs. Refer to the release notes for the list of switches that support each image. VLANs are identified with a number from 1 to 4094 when the EI is installed and 1 to 1005 when the SI is installed. VLAN IDs 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs. VTP only learns normal-range VLANs, with VLAN IDs 1 to 1005; VLAN IDs greater than 1005 are extended-range VLANs and are not stored in the VLAN database. The switch must be in VTP transparent mode when you create VLAN IDs from 1006 to 4094.

"Peer-switch" command on vPC domain and spanning-tree priority interaction
Hi guy,
We have 2 N7K (N7KA and N7KB) which will be running vPC in hybird and pure vPC environment.
I have a question about the Hybird and pure vPC environment. With the "peer-switch" command enable, should i tune the spanning-tree priority to be the same for all the vlan running on vPC on both N7KA and N7KB? This way, when i enter the "sh spanning-tree vlan X(vPC vlan) detail" command on N7K, it will list both N7K announc itself as "We are the root of the spanning tree".Also the switch running spanning-tree with N7K vPC vlan (Hybird), will see both N7K has the same priority (4096), and it is not desirable for a spanning-tree environment. Therefore, i used the "spanning-tree pseudo-information" on N7KB to tune the spanning-tree priority to "8192" and the switch running spanning-tree with N7K will list N7KB has a priority of 8192(perfect).
However, I notice some strange "show" output on the switch running Port-channel with the N7KA and N7KB. The "Designated bridge" priority is flapping as show on the switch. It is constantly changing between "4096 and 8192" with the same vPC system wide mac address.
Entering the "sh spanning-tree vlan X detail" command repeatly on switch with port-channel toward N7KA and N7KB.

peer-switchWe have a issue similar to this in our environment. I am trying to upgrade the existing 3750 stack router with 2 Nexus 5596 running VPC between them. For the transition I have planned to create a channel between 3750 stack and 5596's. Once this environment is set, my plan is to migrate all the access switches to N5k.
The issue is when I connect the 3750 port channel to both N5Ks, all the Vlans on 3750 started to flap. If I connect the port channel to only one N5K everything is normal; but when I connect the port channel to both N5K running VPC, vlans are flapping. Any idea what is going wrong here? Am I missing something? -
The spanning-tree add strange value when I create new Vlans
Hi,
On all switchs access, the spanning-tree add strange value when I create new Vlans from Distrib Layer,
and no association is created with any interface with spanning-tree vlan 700, see below in this exemple,
until I reboot the switch.
somebody already saw this values ?

The ORA-00942 is okay because there is no existing object. But what stuck me is the ORA-01921 error which may indicate that this might not be a new database.

Are there any existing databases on this server? Have you tried to create it on other machine?I searched on Metalink too and found Doc ID: 237486.1 ORA-29807 Signalled While Creating Database using DBCA which say that eroror could be ignored. You may want to review that as well.

VLAN spanning-tree root and VLAN L3 SVI
I have a traditional core/access switches connected, Catalyst 4506 with 802.1Q uplink trunks to two core 6504-E switches. Spanning-tree roots for VLAN's were on core switch with the active HSRP/SVI. Shutdown HSRP/SVI on the cores and moved the SVI to the L3 access switches, but we left the spanning-tree root on the cores... Is this causing the clients/ports in the VLAN on the access switches to do a double/triple hop over the uplink for ingress/egress? Gig1/1 is the trunkport/uplink to the core, wanted to move L3 functions to the access switch to reduce spanning VLANs across the core network.

Gi1/1 Root FWD 4 128.1 P2p
Gi1/2 Altn BLK 4 128.2 P2pHi Tojackson, I guess this depends on how stuff is interconnecting. It's obvious gi1/1 is forwarding and gi1/2 is blocking. So from the furthest access switch, what path must it take to reach gi1/1? That is the number of hops involved for normal traffic.
Now, if you're concerned about a specific VLAN and you need gi1/2 forwarding to reduce travel time for other traffic, you may employ RPVST to have that specific VLAN and cost to go to gi1/2.
In some part of the network I support we have a pair of Cisco 7606 which feeds in to a 4507R and off the 4507R we have a ring of 2955 with even 10-12 L2 switches on the ring. The consequence of multiple layer 2 hops is not of much concern and our spanning tree stops with the 4507 since we're not concerned about broadcast storm on the routed interfaces on the 7600.

Spanning tree - balanced without use vlan ?
Hi, i´m sorry if this is a classic question.
i have implemented rapid pvst like show in the image. The dotted lines are the alternative links. (image 1)
SwitchA# spanning-tree vlan 1 root primary
SwitchB# spanning-tree vlan 1 root secondary
I want to make a kind of balancing like image 2. But the problem is that i have vlan 100 (and other vlans) in side A and Side B.
So, if i make
SwitchB: spanning-tree vlan 100 root primary
SwitchA: spanning-tree vlan 100 root secondary
The SwB it change to primary for vlan 100.
But i want to the switchB be the primary for side A and secondary for side A. No matter the vlan. Is possible?
Thanks a lot!
IMAGE 1
IMAGE 2
PS: Later i will implement HSRP.Hi, i know that is possible, but doing this the result is unbalanced for mi network. For example vlan 20 reside in all switches and vlan 21 reside in only one switch.
i want to the switchA be the primary for side A and secondary for side B. No matter the vlan. Like image 2.
I hope to be clear.
Thanks. -
Cisco Noob - Layer 3 Routing / VLAN / Spanning Tree
Hi All ...
I need some pointers on which commands / settings and where, I know what I want to achieve but the things I am trying seem to be 'mutually exclusive' - either that or i'm missing something - I am not a Cisco IOS expert but I know my way around a network.
Take 3 3560 switches in Layer 3 mode, there is a 'local' fibre spanning tree ring serving mulriple switches on each, each ring is it's own IP segment / VLAN. There is then a trunk between each switch on which I want to establish a load sharing / spanning tree circuit i.e.
SW1 hosts VLAN 2 via copper on fa0/1 -12, ip address 10.10.2.254
SW1 hosts VLAN 3 via a fibre spanning tree circuit on G0/1 & G0/2, dhcp 10.10.3.0/24, trunk 1 on G0/3 and trunk 2 on G0/4
SW1 hosts VLAN 10, ip address 10.10.10.1 (trunks 1 and 2 have no IP address but are members of VLAN 10)
SW2 hosts VLAN 4 via a fibre spanning tree circuit on G0/1 & G0/2, dhcp 10.10.4.0/24, trunk 1 on G0/3 and trunk 2 on G0/4
SW2 hosts VLAN 10, ip address 10.10.10.2 (trunks 1 and 2 have no IP address but are members of VLAN 10)
SW3 hosts VLAN 5 via a fibre spanning tree circuit on G0/1 & G0/2, dhcp 10.10.5.0/24, trunk 1 on G0/3 and trunk 2 on G0/4
SW3 hosts VLAN 10, ip address 10.10.10.3 (trunks 1 and 2 have no IP address but are members of VLAN 10)
SW1 G0/3 is a SMF trunk to SW2 G0/3
SW1 G0/4 is a SMF trunk to SW3 G0/3
SW2 G0/4 is a SMF trunk to SW3 G0/4
The trunks are configured as "trunk encapsulation dot1q", ip routing is enabled.
I can get the trunks working OK - but I can't seem to get routing to work across them - if I define an interface on SW1 with an IP set in SW3 the switch complains so it can clearly see it so which command have I missed.
All VLAN's are part of the same domain, each VLAN has it's own DHCP hosted on it's hosting switch. The VLAN ip address is excluded from DHCP and is the default gateway for each VLAN.
All VLAN's must be able to reach VLAN2 (contains SQL servers and DNS, Time etc etc), the VLAN's are working, DHCP etc is all working - but I can't get anything other than VLAN 10 IP's to talk across the trunks - I've tried adding spanning-tree vlan 2,3,4,5,10 but this hasn't worked, the ip route-map shows nothing, if you show spanning-tree the trunk ports do show up as an interface for all VLAN's - and yet no traffic passes across them - show route displays nothing. I tried adding ip route 10.10.*.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.2.254 (where 10.10.2.254 is the ip address of VLAN 2) but that's done nothing.
I have tried various combinations - unsuccessful so far - I need the trunks to be not only fault tolerant but load sharing which kind of negates fixing IP's on them - or does it ?? - what am I missing ?
(switches are all running IP services IOS)Hi John ,, here is the sh ip route and sh ip eigrp from all three.
The ip address I'm trying to reach from SW1, SW2 is 10.10.2.253 - the DNS server - the server is available and connected to a copper port designated and assigned to VLAN 2 (which has the root ip of 10.10.2.254) dhcp is not enabled for VLAN 2.
I can ping the DNS box from VLAN 5 (same switch as VLAN 2).
The copper ports on the SW1 and SW2 boxes refuse to 'come up' - they remain shutdown no matter what. I haven't yet configured VLAN 10 ....
(NOTE - these switches are on the bench right now - I intend to ge tthe config sorted / tested and verified before they go into production)

Nexus spanning tree pseudo configuration
Hi
I am trying to understand the pseudo configuration commands in a Nexus hybrid topology.
I have vlans a, b and c only in the vPC side of the topology. I have peer switch configured and the same stp priority on both switches.
In the standard Spaning-tree topology I have completely seperate vlans x, y and z.
What should I be configuring in the pseudo config section ? Do I define a pseudo root priority for all vlans a, b, c and x, y, z or just for the standard spanning tree vlans x, y and z. I need to avoid and, even short, spanning tree outages if I take one Nexus out of service for a short time.
My thinking is that if one Nexus is out of service the physical mac will be used and potentially reduce the root priority of the vPC vlans causing a TCN and STP recalculation in vlans a, b and c. This can be avoided by configuring a pseudo root priority for all Vlans lower than the current spanning tree priority shared by the vPC peers. Is this correct ? However, since I have a shared priority of 8192 on current vPC vlans will configuring, for example, a pseudo root priority of 4096 on those vPC vlans won't this also cause the TCN and recalculation I am trying to avoid ? Is the benefit of the pseudo root config only obtained if it is configured at the start when the vPC is formed and prior to the peer switch command being issued ?
Thanks, Stuart.Hi Ajay,
It is recommended that switch-to-switch links are configured with the spanning-tree port type normalcommand. The one exception is the vPC peer-link which is recommended to configure with the spanning-tree port type network command.
Take a read of the Best Practices for Spanning Tree Protocol Interoperability from page 56 of the vPC Best Practice Design Guide for further information on this.

Hello All,
Assistance and input appreciated.
I'm using the following command :
spanning-tree vlan 1-31,33-4094 priority 8192. This was originally,
spanning-tree vlan 1-4094 priority 8192
Yet, my vlan priorities read:
Vlan Root ID Cost Time Age Dly Root Port
VLAN0031 4127 0023.04ee.bec8 23 2 20 15 Gi0/1
VLAN0999 5095 0023.04ee.bec8 23 2 20 15 Gi0/1
VLAN1001 9193 0015.fab1.a0c0 0 2 20 15
Whay are 31 and 999 still based on 4096 and not 8192?
Regareds,Hi,
With little understanding I believe you are taking the output from the non-root switch,
As per my view to resolve this issue.
1) Find out the root bridge in your network
2) type this command "spanning-tree vlan 1-4094 priority 8192" on root bridge --> Mostly core switch of your network.
Hope this helpful to you! -
Hi all,
I am experiencing an RSTP problem. I have two swtitches connected via wireless link, the port is in trunk mode, the native vlan is vlan 1 the problem is that bpdu's are exchanged for other vlan's but not for vlan 1, when i connect a second backup wireless link it causes the loop, it seems that there are no bpdu exchanges between switches for vlan 1, also in trunk ports i see that BPDU's for vlan 1 are sent by both switches but they do not receive any BPDU's from each other. Any explanation about thiss issue ?
Thanks in advanceI would need to know some things to troubleshoot this:
1. Is VLAN 1 the native VLAN of the trunk, on both sides?
2. I presume VLAN 1 is in the allowed VLANs list on both sides of the link?
3. If the native VLAN is not 1, is the native VLAN allowed on the trunk, on both sides?
4. What model of switch is it, and what version of the software?
5. Can you do a show run int for each end of each trunk link?
6. Can you do a show int xxx trunk for each end of each trunk link?
7. Can you do a show spanning-tree vlan 1 on each side of each trunk?

I want to change the spanning tree root on several vlans on my network. My question is, will this cause STP to recalculate for the entire network, which can cause the network to slow down or will it only affect the vlans that I am changing? I want to make sure I am not going to impact anything on the network.
When executed properly, this will only affect the vlans that you wish to change. Use the folllowing command to change spanning tree prio on a vlan:
spanning-tree vlan xx priority 4096 (or a multiple of 4096 for less priority)
Be aware that there is always a risk of unexpected disruptions when you do this. The vlans that you change may still carry user traffic altough there are no users on it. If your topology and traffic flow are not exactly as you assume they are, more vlans may be affected. It is therefore not advisable to alter this setting during peak-hours.

What is the difference between using the following 2 command to gaurentee a certain switch as the root switch? Can I use either one? Is one way more beneficial than the other?
1) spanning-tree vlan 2 priority 8192
2) spanning-tree vlan 2 root primaryThere is more to the "root primary" command that just setting the priority. The root command is in fact a macro that configures the priority but also the spanning-tree timers (by macro I mean that this command is in fact expanded into several different configuration lines, one of them being the stp priority. The macro is not showing up in the configuration). This is particularly interesting if you want to adjust your timers based on the diameter of your network in PVST mode.
If it's just a matter of configuring the root bridge, I don't really get the point of using this macro. Configuring a bridge as root can be done in a trivial way with the priority command.
Personally, I don't like the switch to pick up a priority for me and I prefer choosing the value myself with the priority command. At least, I know what is happening... but that's a matter of taste at that stage.
Just be aware that if you use the "root primary" command, you will have your timers also set to their default values.

Francois
