MSTP Implementation
on Switches
MSTP is compatible with both STP and RSTP. That is, switches running MSTP can
recognize STP and RSTP packets and use them to calculate spanning trees. In addition
to the basic MSTP functions, a S5500 series switch also provides many special
functions for ease of management to further meet the needs of users, as listed in the
following.

Root bridge retaining
■
Root bridge backup

Root protection

BPDU protection

Loop prevention
Root Bridge
Configuration
Table 141 lists the MSTP configuration tasks for root bridges.
With both GVRP and MSTP enabled on switches, GVRP packets will be forwarded
along the CIST. If you want to broadcast packets of a specific VLAN through GVRP, be
sure to map the VLAN to the CIST when configuring the MSTP VLAN mapping table.
The CIST of a network is the spanning tree instance numbered 0.

Enable MSTP Required
Normally, to reduce network
topology jitters caused by
configuration, you are
recommended to enable MSTP
after completing other related
configurations.
