Spanning Tree Algorithm Configuration

MSTP – MSTP When using STP or RSTP, it may be difficult to maintain a stable

path between all VLAN members. Frequent changes in the tree structure can easily

isolate some of the group members. MSTP (which is based on RSTP for fast

convergence) is designed to support independent spanning trees based on VLAN

groups. Using multiple spanning trees can provide multiple forwarding paths and

enable load balancing. One or more VLANs can be grouped into a Multiple Spanning

Tree Instance (MSTI). MSTP builds a separate Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) for

each instance to maintain connectivity among each of the assigned VLAN groups.

MSTP then builds a Internal Spanning Tree (IST) for the Region containing all

commonly configured MSTP bridges.

An MST Region consists of a group of interconnected bridges that have the same

MST Configuration Identifiers (including the Region Name, Revision Level and

Configuration Digest – see "Configuring Multiple Spanning Trees" on page 3-158).

An MST Region may contain multiple MSTP Instances. An Internal Spanning Tree

(IST) is used to connect all the MSTP switches within an MST region. A Common

Spanning Tree (CST) interconnects all adjacent MST Regions, and acts as a virtual

bridge node for communications with STP or RSTP nodes in the global network.

MSTP connects all bridges and LAN segments with a single Common and Internal

Spanning Tree (CIST). The CIST is formed as a result of the running spanning tree

algorithm between switches that support the STP, RSTP, MSTP protocols.
