CCNA Experiment 13 STP the Load Balancer
Environment: Windows XP , GNS3.0.7
Purpose: Learn how to Achieve load balancing in STP
Description: The load balancing of STP is actually the use of another blocking link in the loop to share the load in the network
steps:
Open the GNS to build the project with the following topology:

Note: to SW1 and the SW2 Two devices add switch module ("Nm-16esw"), View two devices Console Port:
SW1 : 2002 , SW2 : 2003.
2 , Configuration SW1 , SW2
A , open cmd command-line Input " telnet 127.0.0.1 2002 the login SW1 to do the following:
router>en
Router#conf T
Router (config) #host SW1
SW1 (config) #exit
Sw1#vlan Database
SW1 (VLAN) #vlan name V10
SW1 (VLAN) #vlan name V20
SW1 (VLAN) #exit
Sw1#conf T
SW1 (config) #int range fa0/0, FA0/5
SW1 (config-if-range) #switchport trunk Encapsulation dot1q
SW1 (config-if-range) #switchport mode trunk
SW1 (config-if-range) #no sh
SW1 (Config-if-range) #end
B , open cmd command-line Input " telnet 127.0.0.1 2003 the login SW2 to do the following:
router>en
Router#conf T
Router (config) #host SW2
SW2 (config) #exit
Sw2#vlan Database
SW2 (VLAN) #vlan name V10
SW2 (VLAN) #vlan name V20
SW2 (VLAN) #exit
Sw2#conf T
SW2 (config) #int range fa0/0, FA0/5
SW2 (config-if-range) #switchport trunk Encapsulation dot1q
SW2 (config-if-range) #switchport mode trunk
SW2 (config-if-range) #no sh
SW2 (Config-if-range) #end
sw2#
C , view SW1 of the VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 in STP Status:
650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://hi.csdn.net/attachment/201011/21/0_1290324114nasg.gif "/>
650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://hi.csdn.net/attachment/201011/21/0_1290324173zSVZ.gif "/>
D , view SW2 of the VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 in STP Status:
650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://hi.csdn.net/attachment/201011/21/0_1290324285O9uJ.gif "/>
650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://hi.csdn.net/attachment/201011/21/0_1290324292ai1H.gif "/>
3 , analyze the current environment
the situation viewed from abovecan be seen inSW1as the root bridge,SW2of theFA0/5the port is in a blocked state, andVLAN Tenand theVlan20are inSW1with theSW2of thefa0/0---fa0/0a link running above, which obviously wasted the linkFA0/5-FA0/5, whilefa0/0-fa0/0there are two of them running on this link .VLANIt's a lot of pressure..so the shunt, which is load balancing, allowsVLAN TenRunfa0/0-fa0/0, VLANRunFA0/5-FA0/5. The following is a load balancing configuration operation.
4. Log in to SW1 to do the following:
sw1>en
Sw1#conf T
SW1 (config) #int FA0/5
SW1 (config-if) #spanning-tr VLAN port-priority 16
SW1 (config-if) #end
Check Again SW2 on VLAN Ten and the VLAN State of:
650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://hi.csdn.net/attachment/201011/21/0_1290324930Irg8.gif "/>
650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://hi.csdn.net/attachment/201011/21/0_1290324936VBNt.gif "/>
apparently nowVLAN Tenrunning inSW1and theSW2of thefa0/0-fa0/0this link, andVLANrunning inSW1and theSW2of theFA0/5-FA0/5this link, so the purpose of load balancing has been achieved.
