MSTP_Intra-Region_BPDUs.cap (1.7 KB)

Packets: 10 Duration: 10s Downloads: 101

MSTP BPDUs captured on an intra-region root port.

00:1f:27:b4:7d:80 - CIST Root (is in another MSTP Region)
00:16:46:b5:8c:80 - CIST Regional Root, Root for Instance 0, 2
00:1e:f7:05:a8:80 - Root for Instance 1

Notice in frame 1 that 00:1e:f7:05:a8:80 uses 32768.00:16:46:b5:8c:80 (Regional Root BID) as bridge ID in the main STP header to make the region appear as a single bridge.

packet-c.cap (675.0 KB)

Packets: 926 Duration: 13s Downloads: 822

This is a packet capture from a SonicWall. We were troubleshooting DHCP packet flows. The SonicWall saw the DHCP Discover and Sent an Offer. We never saw the DHCP acknowledgement. In the adjacent core stacked switching we were running "debug ip dhcp server packets" we only saw discover packets from IP phones up to the SonicWall. For some reason the SonicWall could not let any other DHCP packets through or out of it INSIDE (LAN) interface. Even if we put an ANY-ANY ALC for that interface. We ended up having to replace the SonicWall and upload the configuration from the old SonicWall to the new one.

Packets: 12 Duration: 98s Downloads: 3883

LLDP and CDP advertisements sent between two switches, S1 and S2.

802.1Q_tunneling.cap (5.0 KB)

Packets: 26 Duration: 35s Downloads: 6729

rpvstp-trunk-native-vid5.pcap.cap (1.8 KB)

Packets: 22 Duration: 11s Downloads: 4797

Rapid per-VLAN spanning tree capture of a trunk port, configured with native VLAN 5, VLAN 1 is also active over the trunk.

Capture shows that 3 BPDUs are sent out, one for classic STP (Frame 4, for example), one for the native VLAN 5 (not tagged - Frame 5) and one for each other active VLAN (tagged - Frame 3).

The PVST BPDUs contain the VLAN ID at the end of the frame (01 and 05, respectively).

rpvstp-trunk-native-vid1.pcap.cap (6.4 KB)

Packets: 81 Duration: 45s Downloads: 3869

Rapid per-VLAN spanning tree capture of a trunk port, configured with native VLAN 1 (default), VLAN 5 is also active over the trunk.

Capture shows that 3 BPDUs are sent out, one for classic STP (Frame 4, for example), one for the native VLAN (not tagged - Frame 3) and one for each other active VLAN (tagged - Frame 5).

The PVST BPDUs contain the VLAN ID at the end of the frame (01 and 05, respectively).

rpvstp-access.pcap.cap (3.7 KB)

Packets: 49 Duration: 77s Downloads: 3569

Rapid per-VLAN spanning tree capture of an access port (without portfast), configured in VLAN 5.
