The solution to the problem above is to configure all “Network” type ports to carry all
VLANs in the network. In other words, the Network Port should be a member of all VLANs
defined in the switch. As seen from the example shown in the following diagram, VLAN
3 can forward to all its members through the other Network Port connections and is not
affected by the block RSTP connection.
