Default STP Configuration
Table 20-5 shows the default STP configuration.
STP and MST Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions
When configuring MST, follow these guidelines and restrictions:
• Do not disable spanning tree on any VLAN in any of the PVST bridges.
• Do not use PVST bridges as the root of CST.
• Ensure that all PVST spanning tree root bridges have lower (numerically higher) priority than the
CST root bridge.
• Ensure that trunks carry all of the VLANs mapped to an instance or do not carry any VLANs at all
for this instance.
• Do not connect switches with access links because access links may partition a VLAN.
• Any MST configuration involving a large number of either existing or new logical VLAN ports
should be completed during a maintenance window because the complete MST database gets
reinitialized for any incremental change (such as adding new VLANs to instances or moving VLANs
across instances).
