Chapter 19 Configuring MSTP
Configuring MSTP Features
To return to the default MST region configuration, use the
no spanning-tree mst configuration
global
configuration command. To return to the default VLAN-to-instance map, use the
no instance
instance-id
[
vlan
vlan-range
] MST configuration command. To return to the default name, use the
no
name
MST configuration command. To return to the default revision number, use the
no revision
MST
configuration command. To re-enable PVST+, use the
no spanning-tree mode
or the
spanning-tree
mode pvst
global configuration command.
This example shows how to enter MST configuration mode, map VLANs 10 to 20 to MST instance 1,
name the region
region1
, set the configuration revision to 1, display the pending configuration, apply
the changes, and return to global configuration mode:
Switch(config)#
spanning-tree mst configuration
Switch(config-mst)#
instance 1 vlan 10-20
Switch(config-mst)#
name region1
Switch(config-mst)#
revision 1
Switch(config-mst)#
show pending
Pending MST configuration
Name [region1]

Switch(config-mst)#
exit
Switch(config)#
Configuring the Root Switch
The switch maintains a spanning-tree instance for the group of VLANs mapped to it. A switch ID,
consisting of the switch priority and the switch MAC address, is associated with each instance. For a
group of VLANs, the switch with the lowest switch ID becomes the root switch.
To configure a switch to become the root, use the
spanning-tree mst
instance-id
root
global
configuration command to modify the switch priority from the default value (32768) to a significantly
lower value so that the switch becomes the root switch for the specified spanning-tree instance. When
you enter this command, the switch checks the switch priorities of the root switches. Because of the
extended system ID support, the switch sets its own priority for the specified instance to 24576 if this
value will cause this switch to become the root for the specified spanning-tree instance.
Step 8
spanning-tree mode mst
Enable MSTP. RSTP is also enabled.
Caution
Changing spanning-tree modes can disrupt traffic because all
spanning-tree instances are stopped for the previous mode and
restarted in the new mode.
You cannot run both MSTP and PVST+ or both MSTP and rapid PVST+
at the same time.
Step 9
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 10
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 11
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
