VLAN-Bridge Spanning Tree
Cisco VLAN-bridge spanning tree is used with the fallback bridging feature (bridge groups), which
forwards non-IP protocols such as DECnet between two or more VLAN bridge domains or routed ports.
The VLAN-bridge spanning tree allows the bridge groups to form a spanning tree on top of the individual
VLAN spanning trees to prevent loops from forming if there are multiple connections among VLANs.
It also prevents the individual spanning trees from the VLANs being bridged from collapsing into a
single spanning tree.
To support VLAN-bridge spanning tree, some of the spanning-tree timers are increased. To use the
fallback bridging feature, you must have the enhanced multilayer software image installed on your
switch. For more information, see
