Configuring the Spanning Tree Protocol 647

STP Configuration Examples

This section contains the following examples:

• Configuring STP

• Configuring MSTP

Configuring STP

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 23-16,

each PC represents 17 host systems).
