Default Spanning-Tree Configuration
Table 17-3 shows the default spanning-tree configuration.
Spanning-Tree Configuration Guidelines
Each stack member runs its own spanning tree, and the entire stack appears as a single switch to the rest
of the network.
If more VLANs are defined in the VTP than there are spanning-tree instances, you can enable PVST+
or rapid PVST+ on only 128 VLANs on each switch stack. The remaining VLANs operate with spanning
tree disabled. However, you can map multiple VLANs to the same spanning-tree instances by using
MSTP. For more information, see Chapter 18, “Configuring MSTP.”
