RedundancyRedundant networking topologies are designed to ensure that networks continue to function in the presence of single points of failure.

Redundant Topologies
• A goal of redundant topologies is to eliminate network outages caused by a single point of failure.
• All networks need redundancy for enhanced reliability.

MAC Database Instability
In a redundant switched network, it is possible for switches to learn the wrong information. A switch can learn that a MAC address is on a port when it is not.

Spanning-Tree Operation
• One root bridge per network.
• One root port per nonroot bridge.
• One designated port per segment.
• Nondesignated ports are unused.

Spanning-Tree Recalculation
A switched internetwork has converged when all the switch and bridge ports are in either the forwarding or blocked state.

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• Clarification of port states and roles
• Definition of a set of link types that can go to forwarding state rapidly
• Allowing switches, in a converged network, to generate their own BPDUs rather than relaying root bridge BPDUs
The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1w, will eventually replace the Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1D.
