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 128 VLANs on the switch. The remaining VLANs operate with spanning tree
disabled. However, you can map multiple VLANs to the same spanning-tree instances by using MSTP.
For more information, see Chapter 16, “Configuring MSTP.”
