MSTP Configuration Example 
Network requirements 
Configure MSTP in the network shown in 
 to enable packets of different VLANs to be 
forwarded along different MSTIs. The detailed configurations are as follows: 
z
 
All devices on the network are in the same MST region.  
z
 
Packets of VLAN 10, VLAN 20, VLAN 30, and VLAN 40 are forwarded along MSTI 1, MSTI 2, MSTI 
3, and MSTI 0 respectively.  
z
 
Switch A and Switch B operate at the distribution layer; Switch C and Switch D operate at the 
access layer. VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 are terminated on the distribution layer devices, and VLAN 30 
is terminated on the access layer devices, so the root bridges of MSTI 1 and MSTI 2 are Switch A 
and Switch B respectively, while the root bridge of MSTI 3 is Switch C.
