941.0. "different SPT-prios with 3.1 ?" by UTOPIE::BRAUN_R () Thu Feb 27 1997 14:20

    Hi all,
    
    with the new 3.1-version we are planning a special setup using
    Logical Bridge Domains within the same GIGAswitch to be connected
    to 2 different and totally independent FDDI-rings. 
    As an additional feature we would like to seperate also the default
    root bridge, not having both root bridges on one GIGAswitch. This would 
    require different bridge priorities for the Logical Bridge Domains
    within the same GIGAswitch.
    
    Is this possible with 3.1 ?
    
    
                       GIGA1                       GIGA2
    
                   --------------             --------------
          FDDI-1   |  prio 16   |    FDDI-1   |  prio 128  |     FDDI-1
           --------|            |-------------|            |--------------
                   |  - - - - - |             |  - - - - - |
           --------|            |-------------|            |-------------- 
          FDDI-2   |  prio 64   |    FDDI-2   |  prio 16   |     FDDI-2 
                   --------------             --------------
    
    GIGA1 is root bridge for Logical Bridge Group 1 (FDDI-1)
    GIGI2 is root bridge for Logical Bridge Group 2 (FDDI-2)
    
    
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Ralph

	Bridge priority can be set independently for each spanning tree domain. You use the community string encoding to select the domain.
