It disables the forwarding of traffic on that VLAN not the entire port. This is
how you can achieve load balancing when you have uplinks to two different swit
ches. You make one switch root for the odd vlans and the other switch root for
the even vlans.

Subject: Spanning Tree / Trunks
Hey group. I have a question for which I don't have the gear to test. I
know that on a switch there is a separate instance of Spanning Tree running
per VLAN. My question is, on a trunk, does the Spanning tree disable the
physical port or does it only disable the looped VLAN on that port. I'm
pretty sure that it only disables the individual VLAN on that port, but if
I'm wrong I'm going to be in big trouble. Has anyone ran into this and had
a problem?
Thanks,
Matt
