Hi, I've recently bought your course for Ccna, 30% through so far and I adore it. The lab work has definitely helped me define the knowledge of the lessons and keep the skills in ny head through trial and error.
Thank you, you condensed my doctor's 2 hour lecture into twenty minutes. You explained the topic very well; I enjoyed the mild humor, this video is great.
You clarified this subject for me after I spent almost a week banging my head against the wall. Thank you so much. Thank you for the humorous *bleep* with the arrogant router comment. Made my day.
Amazing analysis!! Such a high level networking subject, that too many people mess up, is analysed here in such a way that, even a 10 years old child would do understand. I wish you were my teacher, and I was present in your teaching classrooms. Education needs teachers like you. Thank you!
your explanations are like the computer in the film Matrix that people connect behind their heads. After watching the video you become an expert in the stuff.
I prefer hearing to reading things at times because I usually read to relax. Plus I can listen while at work so it constantly refreshes in my head. Thank you guys.
Very clear explanation. In case someone has trouble understanding this, I would suggest learning first these subjects: MAC table / CAM table Broadcast frame Flooding Unicast frame
I have to agree with the consensus here. Your videos are awesome, informative, and helpful. The best part is it's in clear to understand ENGLISH. Other videos are in broken English and it makes already difficult to understand concepts even more difficult. Thanks for all of your hard work and wish me luck on my exam.
This is an extremely well put together presentation on STP. This will definitely help me to get many of those STP questions on the CCNA exam correct. Thank you for sharing! You rock!
I am preparing to take Huawei R-S Certification. And a lot of videos explain how to implement in the Switche OS. But none of them explain how it really works like you guys do. Very cool video. Great Job.
I’ve watched a lot of videos and on this topic, this explanation is far more in-depth explanation and understanding. And the kind of video I’m looking for that gives understanding. I’ll have to rewatch it, but definitely thanks for these kind of detail understanding videos. People that really want to learn and understand this stuff appreciate these kind of videos.
This really help connects everything from the book and pieced them together, will try to watch the video a few more times to nail this down, thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this lucid explanation. STP for me previously was a nightmare. Your video is exactly what I needed to get over this scarecrow! Eugene Che, CCNA student writing from Buea Cameroon, Central Africa.
This video explain it all quite perfectly, and is quite entertaining to watch and learn at the same time, the graphics and animation is clean, and the narrator has a special sense of humor too
I have so much confusion and after watching your animated videos very crispal clear videos Thank you bro We need more videos like this Please don't stop posting it Thank you
I absolutely love this channel. I'll study the concept via another video provider that is much more technical, then solidify with reading. I'll reward myself after all of that and come here for a brief simple overview of the concept and have it solidified. Now I know that Switches are arrogant ****
HOW HAVE I ONLY NOW FOUND YOURE CHANEL????? this is so well explained! Im studying IT and struggle with learning youre so good at explaining thank you!
From my understanding, it's the lowest local port priority then the lowest local port number (For designated port roles). It behaves this way when you test it. 4. Elect a Designated Port Lowest root cost Lowest BID Lowest internal port priority Lowest internal port number "Note: Two additional tiebreakers are needed in some cases, although these would be unlikely today. A single switch can connect two or more interfaces to the same collision domain by connecting to a hub. In that case, the one switch hears its own BPDUs. So, if a switch ties with itself, two additional tiebreakers are used: the lowest interface STP priority and, if that ties, the lowest internal interface number." Cisco Press Book 200-105 Page 54.
Lowest root cost Lowest BID Lowest sender port priority Lowest sender port number If all else fails (like connecting to a hub) it will use its lowest local port number.
CertBros thanks man! This made it click! Those last two only happen with a hub. It makes sense that the best sender gets that role. Each switch can't select that role otherwise you'd end up with multiple designated ports on the same collision domain. XD
I never understood STP when I actually had access to Cisco's netacad, the instructor I had was terrible as well, so definitely didn't help. Now, after watching the video just once and scribbling some notes, I feel as though I actually know what's going on! Thanks!
This is very good! One thing I personally would like to see though would be more elaborate explanations to confirm our understandings of the concepts. For example, when explaimg the root bridge election, it would help to hear exactly why Switch A won the election to root bridge - bc the priority numbers were all a tie, so it then fell to the MAC addresses to be the deciding factors. Bc S-A had the lowest MAC address, it was the winner; aaaaa was lower than bbbbb and cccc on switches B & C. I LIKE the simplicity of you graphics and the absence of needess port and vlan numbers which in the beginning are unnecessary. THANKS AGAIN!
incredible. i wish you were my networking instructor lmao it would be so much easier to understand things with your method of explanation and pronunciation.
Guys... this is really good stuff! struggled to understand basic spanning tree and it cost me my first IDNA2 attempt. This is so clear and easy to understand. Thank you. Keep it up.
there is really a clear explanation of STP but in I think location's of some parts need to be changed for better education. For example when we learn STP basics it is time to introduce Rapid versions or PER LAN features.
I have been following this series with a happy face till this video, I didn't understand it quite well to be honest, I hope may be later I will understand the STP technology more...
Thanks Mauricio! I really appreciate your support. 🙏 You can get the course as a pre-launch if you'rere interested, the link is in the description. Good luck with your studies!
Just in case this is helpful for others, here are my notes from this video.
STP Overview
Spanning Tree Protocol
Types of STP
- Original STP
- STP / 802.1D
- PVST+
- Cisco improvement adding a per VLAN feature
- Cisco default
- RSTP / 802.1w
- Improved STP with much faster convergence
- Rapid PVST+
- Cisco improvement of RSTP adding per VLAN feature
- Makes a large network more efficient
Why STP?
- STP is used to prevent loops when using redundant switches
- Broadcast messages are sent all the time and Broadcast Storms are easy to trigger
- Loops also cause unstable MAC address tables because they're constantly being changed/updated
- Duplicate frames are being sent to the same host
How STP Works
- Switches in a loop 'drop' one of the ports
- Switch with the blocked port still receives the data but it ignores it
- Simple but how the switches choose the port to block can be tricky
Choosing the blocked port
- 1) Elect a root bridge
- King of switches
- 2) Place root bridge interfaces into a Forwarding state
- 3) Each non-root switch selects its Root Port
- This is the best route to the bridge
- 4) Remaining links choose a Designated Port
- 5) All other ports are put into a Blocking state
Roles
- Root Ports
- The best port to reach the Root Bridge
- Designated Port
- Port with the best route to the Root Bridge on a link
- Non-Designated Ports
- All other ports that are in a blocking state
States
- Disabled
- Port that is shutdown
- Blocking
- A port that is blocking traffic
- Must move to Listening state before moving to Forwarding
- Listening
- Not forwarding traffic and not learning MAC addresses
- Transitional State while changing from 1 role to another
- Held in this state for the Forward Delay timer (15 sec default)
- Learning
- Not forwarding traffic but learning MAC addresses
- Transitional State while changing from 1 role to another
- Held in this state for the Forward Delay timer (15 sec default)
- After this, the port can now move to a Forwarding state
- Forwarding
- Sending and receiving traffic like normal
- Can move directly to Blocking
Root Bridge Election
- Each switch has a BPDU. BPDU contains:
- Root Cost
- Cost of the root bridge
- BID (Bridge ID)
- The switch with the lowest overall BID will become the root bridge
- They look something like: 32769aaaa:aaaa:aaaa
- BID is made up of:
- STP priority
- Default value of 32768 + VLAN number
- For VLAN 1, the STP priority would be 32769
- MAC Address
- Each switch thinks it should be the root bridge
- They share their BPDUs with each other
- Once they all agree, the root bridge has been elected
- All ports on the root bridge enter a Forwarding State
- Each non-root switch will now choose the best path to the root bridge
- This is the Root Port
- This is based on Port Cost
- Cost is based on port speed
- Better speed, lower cost
- Each outgoing port to the root added together
- Can be set manually
- If a tie happens, they look at lowest neighbor BID
- If they tie, they use lowest neighbor port priority
- If they tie, lowest neighbor port number
- Select a Designated Port
- Look at lowest root cost to the bridge
- If that ties, lowest BID
- If that ties, lowest neighbor port priority
- If that ties, lowest neighbor port number
- Every port that is not a root port of designated port is put in a Blocking State
Downfall of STP -- Convergence
- The time it takes to do the work and become stable
Timers - Default (RSTP addresses the delay of convergence)
- Hello
- Every 2 seconds
- Lets everyone know everything is still alive
- MaxAge
- 10x Hello timer by default (20 seconds)
- The time the switch will wait before it realizes something is wrong
- Forward Delay
- 15 seconds
- The time between the Listening and Learning state
thanks a lot
Thanks sir
Thank you!
Much appreciated!
You are just the best! Thank you
I have never ever seen this kind of clear explanations... this is awesome... keep it up...

It's pretty easy to remember the new port costs as they are kind of logical in that a 10x faster link will have a 10x smaller cost
there is really a clear explanation of STP but in I think location's of some parts need to be changed for better education. For example when we learn STP basics it is time to introduce Rapid versions or PER LAN features.
