3 Write the spanning tree algorithm. Compute and draw the spanning tree and label the root switch, 15
root ports, designated ports and block ports for the following switched LAN. Assume that LANs 1,
3, 5, 7 and 11 are Gigabit Ethernets (Cost=15) and the rest are Fast Ethernets (Cost=19). Switches
are labelled with S1, S2, etc. Use the LAN costs to determine the least cost path.
NOTE 1: Numerical values 1, 2, 3, etc. indicates the port number of each switch.
NOTE 2: MAC address is represented in hexadecimal form.

Switch Switch ID (Priority + Switch Switch ID (Priority


Number MAC address) Number + MAC address)

4 Six stations (S1-S6) are connected to an extended LAN through transparent bridges (B1 and B2), as 10
shown in Figure. Initially, the forwarding tables are empty. Suppose the following stations transmit
frames as follows.
a. S1 transmits to S5
b. S6 transmits to S1
c. S5 transmits to S2
d. S3 transmits to S1
e. S4 transmits to S6
Let station S3 is moved to LAN3
f. S3 transmits to S4
g. S2 transmits to S1
h. S4 transmits to S3
i. S5 transmits to S1
j. S4 transmits to S3
Fill in the forwarding tables with appropriate entries and function after the frames have been
completely transmitted.
