Hi, fellas is there anyone here who can help me regarding Vlan trunking and Spanning tree protocol.?
I'm designing a network consist of 610 nodes and I'm using Catalyst 2960 48 ports Switch and Router 2900 series
for my gateway. In every Catalyst switch it has 6 Vlan ID including Vlan 1 which is the default Vlan. The thing is
when I'm not yet configuring a Vlan ID I set the core switch 4500-e as a primary root bridge on Vlan 1 and leaving the other
edge switches as pre configured and it seems like everything is running smooth. I saw some of the switches are on the Blocking mode and Designated port. But when I started to configure Vlans on every switches the problem came up, all the blocked ports became open and as we know spanning tree is very important to avoid switching loops. And when I show the spanning tree result it shows that out of 6 Vlan ID I have 4 vlan that it says that all of them are root bridge like "VLAN 10 This Bridge is the root" "VLAN 20 This Bridge is The Root". and as we know in spanning should have only 2 root bridge the PRIMARY and SECONDARY, so my question is should I turn off the spanning tree to all the vlan ID that I've created and leave only VLAN 1 has spanning tree wich all my trunkport are assigned? and which Vlan ID should I assign my trunkport for all the switches including the core switch. I hope you can help me fellas for this issue.
Thank you,
