Hello Larry,

1. If you set "Priority 0" will cause that Cat to become root for ALL VLANs. Yo
u can also use "set spantree root <vlan>" where <vlan> is the vlan number you w
ant this switch to be root. Remember the lower the priority the better the chan
ce to become root.

set spantree root 1,2,3 ... this will make this switch become root for VLAN 1,2
,3 ONLY .... if another switch has lower priority than yours for VLAN4, that sw
itch will still be root for that VLAN.

You can also use some other parameters like root guard to assure any other swit
ch has lower priority than yours and stuff.

2. If you want to configure on-demand peers, you need to keyword promiscous on
all routers being part of that group:

R1
dlsw local-peer peer-id 1.1.1.1 promiscuos group 1 border

R2
dlsw local-peer peer-id 1.1.1.2 promiscuos group 1
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 1.1.1.1

hope this helps!!

cheers,

hockito

Subject: Lab Tomorrow! Need Help

Hello fellow CCIE waqnnabes and accomplished CCIEs!

I'm sittingin my hotel 13 hours from ground zero and needed some
clarification and help.

1. When one wants to ensure that his switch does not become root under any
circumstance does he set the bridge priority to 0, does he set the priority
to the highest possible value, or does he do someting entirely different.
This has been kicked around quite a bit, but I never found a difinitive
answer here or on CCO, books, etc., and don't have two CATs to test.

2. When using DLSW+ peer-on-demand, do I also have to configure a border
peer, use the promiscuous keyword, both or neither?

Thanks in advance!

Larry
