STP: BPDU in listening state
Inviato: mar 03 gen , 2006 3:58 pm
Non riesco a capire se i BPDU vengono inviati e ricevuti durante la fase di listening.
Il mio libro (ciscopress self-study) dice che vengono inviati, dal sito cisco però non emerge.
A rigor di logica, se durante la fase di listening si compiono l'elezione del RootBridge e la definizione delle porte(root,designated,non-designated) mi sembra improbabile che i bpdu non vengano inviati.

Listening State
The listening state is the first transitional state a port enters after the blocking state, when Spanning-Tree Protocol determines that the port should participate in frame forwarding. Learning is disabled in the listening state. Figure C-5 shows a port in the listening state.
A port in the listening state performs as follows:
-Discards frames received from the attached segment.
-Discards frames switched from another port for forwarding.
-Does not incorporate station location into its address database. (There is no learning at this point, so there is no address database update.)
-Receives BPDUs and directs them to the system module.
-Processes BPDUs received from the system module.
-Receives and responds to network management messages.
Learning State
A port in the learning state is preparing to participate in frame forwarding. This is the second transitional state through which a port moves in anticipation of frame forwarding. The port enters the learning state from the listening state through the operation of Spanning-Tree Protocol.
A port in the learning state performs as follows:
-Discards frames received from the attached segment.
-Discards frames switched from another port for forwarding.
-Incorporates station location into its address database.
-Receives BPDUs and directs them to the system module.
-Receives, processes, and transmits BPDUs received from the system module.
-Receives and responds to network management messages.
