Spanning tree protocol is disabled while SPBM is running. VLANs used by SPBM are
loop free, but VLANs not used by SPBM may cause loops in the topology.
Here is an example of using SPBM for path redundancy.
Figure 3-10: SPBM for path redundancy
In Figure 3-10, the link between BEB 1 and BEB 2 has the lowest cost. SPBM uses
this link to forward traffic from I-Domain 4096. When this link goes down, the
SPBM recalculates for topology change and selects another link to the BCB to
forward traffic. In this example, the BCB is configured to pass only VLAN 4000
traffic to prevent loops.
The following is an example setting for each switch.
