Configuring MSTP

This chapter describes how to configure the Cisco implementation of the IEEE 802.1s Multiple STP

(MSTP) on your Catalyst 2950 or Catalyst 2955 switch.

Note The multiple spanning-tree (MST) implementation is a prestandard implementation. It is based on the

draft version of the IEEE standard.

The MSTP enables multiple VLANs to be mapped to the same spanning-tree instance, reducing the

number of spanning-tree instances needed to support a large number of VLANs. The MSTP provides for

multiple forwarding paths for data traffic and enables load balancing. It improves the fault tolerance of

the network because a failure in one instance (forwarding path) does not affect other instances

(forwarding paths). The most common initial deployment of MSTP is in the backbone and distribution

layers of a Layer 2 switched network. This deployment provides the highly available network required

in a service-provider environment.

When the switch is in the MST mode, the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is based on

IEEE 802.1w, is automatically enabled. The RSTP provides rapid convergence of the spanning tree

through explicit handshaking that eliminates the IEEE 802.1D forwarding delay and quickly transitions

root ports and designated ports to the forwarding state.

Both MSTP and RSTP improve the spanning-tree operation and maintain backward-compatibility with

equipment that is based on the (original) IEEE 802.1D spanning tree, with existing Cisco-proprietary

Multiple Instance STP (MISTP) and with existing Cisco per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+) and

rapid per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (rapid PVST+). For information about PVST+ and rapid PVST+,

see Chapter 13, ��Configuring STP.” For information about other spanning-tree features such as Port Fast,

UplinkFast, root guard, and so forth, see Chapter 15, “Configuring Optional Spanning-Tree Features.”

Note For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, see the command

reference for this release.
