XS728T ProSAFE 28-Port 10-Gigabit L2+ Smart Switch
Sample MSTP Configuration
This example shows how to create an MSTP instance from the switch. The sample network
has three different switches that serve different locations in the network.
In this example, ports xg1–xg5 are connected to host stations, so those links are not subject
to network loops. Ports xg6–xg8 are connected across Switches 1, 2, and 3.
Ports xg1-xg6
Switch 1
connected to hosts
root bridge
Switch 2
Switch 3
Ports xg1-xg5
connected to hosts
Ports xg1-xg6
connected to hosts
Ports xg6-xg8
connected to Switch 2 and 3
Ports xg6-xg8
connected to Switch 1 and 2
Perform the following procedures on each switch to configure MSTP:
1. Use the VLAN Configuration screen to create VLANs 300 and 500.
For more information, see VLAN Configuration on page 53.
2. Use the VLAN Membership screen to include ports xg1–xg8 as tagged (T) or untagged (U)
members of VLAN 300 and VLAN 500.
For more information, see VLAN Membership on page 54.
3. In the STP Configuration screen, enable the Spanning
Tree State option.
For more information, see STP Configuration on page 66.
Set the STP Operation Mode to MSTP. Use the default values for the rest of the STP
configuration settings. By default, the configuration name is the switch MAC address.
4. In the CST Configuration screen, set the Bridge Priority value for each of the three switches
to force Switch 1 to be the root bridge:
• Switch 1. 4096
• Switch 2. 12288
• Switch 3. 20480
