From the MST Configuration screen, create a MST instances with the following settings:
•
MST ID: 1
•
Priority: Use the default (32768)
•
VLAN ID: 300

In this example, assume that Switch 1 has become the Root bridge for the MST instance 1,
and Switch 2 has become the Root bridge for MST instance 2. Switch 3 has hosts in the
Sales department (ports g1, g2, and g3) and in the HR department (ports g4 and g5).
Switches 1 and 2 also have hosts in the Sales and Human Resources departments. The
hosts connected from Switch
and Switch 2 has become the Root bridge for MST instance 2. Switch 3 has hosts in the
Sales department (ports g1, g2, and g3) and in the HR department (ports g4 and g5).
Switches 1 and 2 also have hosts in the Sales and Human Resources departments. The
hosts connected from Switch
2 use VLAN 500, MST instance 2 to communicate with the
hosts on Switch 3 directly. Likewise, hosts of Switch 1 use VLAN 300, MST instance 1 to
communicate with the hosts on Switch 3 directly.
communicate with the hosts on Switch 3 directly.
The hosts use different instances of MSTP to effectively use the links across the switch. The
same concept can be extended to other switches and more instances of MSTP.
