Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to: Describe the purpose and operation of the STP Explain how to implement STP to solve the problems associated with redundant switched or bridged topologies | © 2002, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. © 2002, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Spanning-Tree Protocol Overview Purpose: This chapter introduces the Cisco IOS™ CLI on the Catalyst® 1900 switch and router. Timing: This chapter should take about 2 hours to present. Note: The Catalyst 1900 switch only has a subset of the router Cisco IOS commands available. Contents: Introduction to Cisco IOS. Explain to the student what is IOS? Cisco Device startup procedures in general. IOS configuration source. General introduction to the IOS CLI. Cat 1900 switch startup procedures. Intro to Cat 1900 CLI. This part covers the basic configuration on the switch, like setting the IP address and hostname. More details about the various Cat 1900 switch configuration commands are explained in Chapter 6 and 7. Router startup procedures. More details on the router startup process is discussed in chapter 5. Router IOS CLI. Objectives Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to: . | © 2002, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Emphasize: Read or state each objective so that each student has a clear understanding of the chapter objectives. Note: Catalyst switches have different CLIs. The Catalyst 2900xl and the Catalyst 1900 has a Cisco IOS CLI. The Cisco IOS CLI commands available on the 2900xl is different from the 1900. The Catalyst 5000 family has no Cisco IOS CLI, and use the set commands instead. This class only covers the configuration on the Catalyst 1900 switch. Provides a loop-free redundant network topology by placing certain ports in the blocking state. Spanning-Tree Protocol Emphasize: A looped topology is often desired to provide redundancy, but looped traffic is undesirable. The Spanning-Tree protocol was originally designed for bridges. Today, it is also applied to LAN switches and
