Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
FTOS supports three other variations of Spanning Tree, as shown in
Table 44
.
Implementation Information
•
The FTOS MSTP implementation is based on IEEE 802.1Q-2003, and interoperates only with bridges
that also use this standard implementation.
•
MSTP is compatible with STP and RSTP.
•
FTOS supports only one MSTP region.
•
When you enable MSTP, all ports in Layer 2 mode participate in MSTP.
•
On the C-Series and S-Series, you can configure 64 MSTIs including the default instance 0 (CIST).
Configure Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
Configuring Multiple Spanning Tree is a four-step process:
1. Configure interfaces for Layer 2. See
page 1051.
2. Place the interfaces in VLANs.
3. Enable Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol. See
page 645.
4. Create Multiple Spanning Tree Instances, and map VLANs to them. See page 645.
