Purpose

After a spanning tree protocol is configured on an Ethernet switching network, it calculates the
network topology and implements the following functions to remove network loops:

l

Loop cut-off: The potential loops on the network are cut off by blocking redundant links.

l

Link redundancy: When an active path becomes faulty, a redundant link can be activated
to ensure network connectivity.

7.2 MSTP Principles

This section describes the principles of MSTP.

7.2.1 MSTP Background

RSTP, an enhancement to STP, implements fast convergence of the network topology. There is
a defect for both RSTP and STP: All VLANs on a LAN use one spanning tree, and VLAN-based
load balancing cannot be performed. Once a link is blocked, it will no longer transmit traffic,
wasting bandwidth and causing the failure in forwarding certain VLAN packets.

On the network shown in 

Figure 7-1

, STP or RSTP is enabled. The broken line shows the

spanning tree. S6 is the root switching device. The links between S1 and S4 and between S2 and
S5 are blocked. VLAN packets are transmitted by using the corresponding links marked with
"VLAN2" or "VLAN3."

Host A and Host B belong to VLAN 2 but they cannot communicate with each other because
the link between S2 and S5 is blocked and the link between S3 and S6 denies packets from
VLAN 2.
