Protocols and standards
MSTP is documented in the following protocols and standards:
•IEEE 802.1d, Spanning Tree Protocol
•IEEE 802.1w, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
•IEEE 802.1s, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
Configuration guidelines
When you configure MSTP, follow these guidelines:
•Two or more spanning tree devices belong to the same MST region only if they are configured to have the same MST region name, MST region level, and the same
•If two or more devices are selected as the root bridge in a spanning tree at the same time, the device with the lowest MAC address is chosen.
•If BPDU guard is disabled, a port set as an edge port becomes a
•If a port directly connects to a user terminal, configure it as an edge port and enable BPDU guard for it. This enables the port to quickly transit to the forwarding state when ensuring network security.
