Implementation of MSTP on devices
MSTP is compatible with STP and RSTP. STP and RSTP protocol packets can be recognized by devices
running MSTP and used for spanning tree calculation.
In addition to basic MSTP functions, the device provides the following functions for ease of management:
• Root bridge hold
• Root bridge backup
• Root guard
• BPDU guard
• Loop guard
• TC-BPDU guard
• Support for the hot swapping of interface boards and switchover of the active and standby main
boards
Protocols and standards
• IEEE 802.1d, Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.1w, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.1s, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
Configuring MSTP in the Web interface
Configuration task list
Before configuring MSTP on devices, find out the role of each device in the spanning tree instance, which
can be root bridge or leaf node. Each spanning tree instance has only one root bridge, and all the other
devices in the instance are leaf nodes.
Table 15 MSTP configuration task list
Task Remarks
Configuring an MST region
Optional.
Configure the MST region-related parameters and VLAN-to-MSTI mappings.
By default, the MST region-related parameters adopt the default values, and
all VLANs in an MST region are mapped to MSTI 0.
Configuring MSTP globally
Optional.
Enable MSTP globally and configure MSTP parameters.
By default, MSTP is enabled globally, and all MSTP parameters adopt the
default values.
Configuring MSTP on a port
Optional.
Enable MSTP on a port and configure MSTP parameters.
By default, MSTP is enabled on a port, and all MSTP parameters adopt the
default values.
