MST Configuration Guidelines
When configuring MST, follow these guidelines:
• When you work with private VLANs, enter the private-vlan synchronize command to map the
secondary VLANs to the same MST instance as the primary VLAN.
• When you are in the MST configuration submode, the following guidelines apply:
–
Each command reference line creates its pending regional configuration.
–
The pending region configuration starts with the current region configuration.
–
To leave the MST configuration submode without committing any changes, enter the abort
command.
–
To leave the MST configuration submode and commit all the changes that you made before you
left the submode, enter the exit command.
Enabling MST
You must enable MST; Rapid PVST+ is the default.
Note Changing the spanning tree mode disrupts traffic because all spanning tree instances are stopped for the
previous mode and started for the new mode.
