9.8.3 Example for Configuring MSTP Multi-Process for Layer 2
Single-Access Rings and Layer 2 Multi-Access Rings
MSTP multi-process enables different Layer 2 access rings to transmit different services.
Networking Requirements
On the network with both Layer 2 single-access rings and multi-access rings deployed, switching
devices transmit both Layer 2 and Layer 3 services. To enable different rings to transmit different
services, configure MSTP multi-process. Spanning trees of different processes are calculated
independently.
As shown in Figure 9-11, both Layer 2 single-access rings and dual-access rings are deployed
and switches A and B carry both Layer 2 and Layer 3 services. In this networking, switches A
and B connected to dual-access rings are also connected to a single-access ring.
NOTE
In the ring where MSTP multi-process is configured, you are advised not to block the interface directly
connected to the root protection-enabled designated port.
