z
Within an MST region, the packet is forwarded along the corresponding MSTI.
z
Between two MST regions, the packet is forwarded along the CST.
Implementation of MSTP on Devices
MSTP is compatible with STP and RSTP. STP and RSTP protocol packets can be recognized by
devices running MSTP and used for spanning tree calculation.
In addition to basic MSTP functions, many special functions are provided for ease of management, as
follows:
z
Root bridge hold
z
Root bridge backup
z
Root guard
z
BPDU guard
z
Loop guard
z
TC-BPDU guard
z
BPDU dropping
Protocols and Standards
MSTP is documented in:
z
IEEE 802.1d:
Spanning Tree Protocol
z
IEEE 802.1w:
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
z
IEEE 802.1s:
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
MSTP Configuration Task List
Before configuring MSTP, you need to know the role of each device in each MSTI: root bridge or leave
node. In each MSTI, one, and only one device acts as the root bridge, while all others as leaf nodes.
Complete these tasks to configure MSTP:
