Default Spanning-Tree Configuration
Table 13-3 shows the default spanning-tree configuration.
Spanning-Tree Configuration Guidelines
If more VLANs are defined in the VTP than there are spanning-tree instances, you can enable PVST+
or rapid PVST+ on only 64 VLANs. If the number of VLANs exceeds 64, we recommend that you enable
the MSTP to map multiple VLANs to a single spanning-tree instance. For more information, see
Chapter 14, “Configuring MSTP.”
