Configuring the Spanning Tree Protocol 751

STP Configuration Examples

This section contains the following examples:

• STP Configuration Example

• MSTP Configuration Example

• RSTP-PV Access Switch Configuration Example

STP Configuration Example

This example shows a LAN with four switches. On each switch, ports 1, 2, and

3 connect to other switches, and ports 4–20 connect to hosts (in Figure 22-19,

each PC represents 17 host systems).
