spanning-tree gateway load balancing (STP & GLBP)
Can someone tell me if having the same VLAN that spans multiple switches and connects to dual distributions really works with GLBP??? I have two interconnected distribution switches (Distribution-A and Distribution-B) that have multiple access layer switches (access-A & access-B) connected to each distribution switch. Each access layer switch has the same VLAN (Vlan2) across both switches. . Please take a look at this PDF:

page 40, figure 41 - with VLAN 2 present on two access layer switches, and both switches are uplinked to the two distribution switches. In this configuration, wouldn't one of the uplinks on Distribution switch B be blocked not only on the link that connects to distribution- A and also to one of the access layer switches. I don't see how GLBP can work if you have dual distribution switches connected to multiple access layer switches that span Vlans. This document seems wrong Can someone correct me if I?m wrong.
