This section explains how to migrate or reconfigure an existing STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) network to an EAPS (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching) network.
Note
Actual implementation steps on a production network may differ based on the physical topology, switch models, and software versions deployed.The sample STP network is a simple two-switch topology connected with two Gigabit Ethernet trunk links, which form a broadcast loop. Both Extreme Networks switches are configured for 802.1D mode STP running on a single data VLAN (Virtual LAN) named Data. The sample STP network for migration to EAPS is shown in Sample STP Network for Migration to EAPS.
