CCNA全版PPT 2-06-Redundant Topo.ppt

Objectives Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to: Describe the features of redundant switch and bridge topologies Explain the problems associated with broadcast storms, multiple frame transmissions, and MAC address table instability Describe loop avoidance and explain how it can solve redundant switch topology issues Redundant Topology Redundant topology eliminates single points of failure. Redundant topology causes broadcast storms, multiple frame copies, and MAC address table instability problems. Summary Bridged and switched networks are commonly designed with redundant links and devices, which can introduce problems, such as broadcast storms, multiple frame transmission, and MAC database instability. A broadcast storm is when each switch on a redundant network floods broadcast frames endlessly. In a redundant topology, multiple copies of the same frame can arrive at the intended host, potentially causing problems with the receiving protocol. MAC database instability results when multiple copies of a frame arrive on different ports of a switch. ? 2002, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. ICND v2.0—3-* ? 2002, Cisco Systems, Inc.

MAC address of router Y has not been learned by either switch yet. Router Y will receive two copies of the same frame. Multiple Frame Copies Host X sends a unicast frame to router Y. MAC address of router Y has not been learned by either switch. Switches A and B learn the MAC address of host X on port 0. The frame to router Y is flooded. Switches A and B incorrectly learn the MAC address of host X on port 1. MAC Database Instability Host X sends a broadcast. Switches continue to propagate broadcast traffic over and over. Broadcast Storms Purpose: This chapter introduces the Cisco IOS? CLI on the Catalyst? 1900 switch and router.
