FIGURE 58 Active Layer 2 path in complex topology

Propagation of topology change

The Topology Change state machine generates and propagates the topology change notification

messages on each port. When a Root port or a Designated port goes into a forwarding state, the

Topology Change state machine on those ports send a topology change notice (TCN) to all the bridges

in the topology to propagate the topology change.

NOTE

Edge ports, Alternate ports, or Backup ports do not need to propagate a topology change.

The TCN is sent in the RST BPDU that a port sends. Ports on other bridges in the topology then

acknowledge the topology change once they receive the RST BPDU, and send the TCN to other

bridges until all the bridges are informed of the topology change.

For example, Port3/Switch 2 in the following figure, fails. Port4/Switch 3 becomes the new Root port.

Port4/Switch 3 sends an RST BPDU with a TCN to Port4/Switch 4. To propagate the topology change,

Port4/Switch 4 then starts a TCN timer on itself, on the bridge Root port, and on other ports on that

bridge with a Designated role. Then Port3/Switch 4 sends RST BPDU with the TCN to Port4/Switch 2.

(Note the new active Layer 2 path in the following figure.)
