Imagine a simple topology made of 3 switches:
All switches are running STP for VLAN123 with SW3 being the root. Your task is to configure the network in such a way so that SW1 port fa0/13 is the root port and SW1 port fa0/16 is the alternate port for VLAN 123. Sound easy? Here are the requirements:
1) Do not change any STP link cost
2) SW3 must remain the root for VLAN 123
3) The port types must be access
4) Do not use the switchport backup interface command
5) Do not try to use SPAN or RSPAN
6) Do not disable STP
