Protocols and Standards

MSTP is documented in:

IEEE 802.1d: Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges

IEEE 802.1w: Part 3: Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges—Amendment 2: Rapid

Reconfiguration

IEEE 802.1s: Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks—Amendment 3: Multiple Spanning Trees

MSTP Configuration Task List

Before configuring MSTP, you need to know the role of each device in each MSTI: root bridge or leave
node. In each MSTI, one, and only one device acts as the root bridge, while all others as leaf nodes.

Complete these tasks to configure MSTP:
