Configuring Multiple Spanning Tree
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
(MSTP) provides differing load balancing scenarios. For example, while port A is
blocked in one STP instance, the same port can be placed in the
Forwarding
state
in another STP instance.
This section contains the following topics:
•
Defining MSTP Properties
•
Defining MSTP Interfaces
•
Defining MSTP Instance Mappings
•
Defining MSTP Instance Settings
