3-12. MSTP Configuration
The implementation of MSTP is according to IEEE 802.1Q 2005 Clause 13 –
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol. MSTP allows frames assigned to different VLANs
to follow separate paths, each based on an independent Multiple Spanning Tree
Instance (MSTI), within Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) Regions composed of LANs
and or MST Bridges. Proper configuration of MSTP in an 802.1Q VLAN
environment can ensure a loop-free data path for a group of vlans within an MSTI.
Redundant path and load balancing in vlan environment is also achieved via this
feature.A spanning tree instance called CIST(Common and Internal Spanning Tree)
always exists . Up to 64 more spanning tree instances (MSTIs) can be provisioned.
