Handshake when a root port has been elected
If a non-root bridge already has a Root port, RSTP uses a different type of handshake. For example,
in Figure 79, a new root bridge is added to the topology.
FIGURE 79 Addition of a new root bridge
The handshake that occurs between Switch 60 and Switch 100 follows the one described in the
previous section (“Handshake when no root port is elected”). The former root bridge becomes a
non-root bridge and establishes a Root port (Figure 80).
However, since Switch 200 already had a Root port in a forwarding state, RSTP uses the Proposing
