Mstp Example Configuration - NETGEAR MS510TX User Manual

Smart Managed Pro Switches MS510TX and MS510TXPP
The portion of the active topology of the network that connects any two bridges in the same
MST region traverses only MST bridges and LANs in that region, and never bridges of any
kind outside the region. In other words, connectivity within the region is independent of
external connectivity.

MSTP Example Configuration

This example shows how to create an MSTP instance from the switch. The example network
includes three different switches that serve different locations in the network. In this example,
ports g1–mg5 are connected to host stations, so those links are not subject to network loops.
Ports mg6–mg7 are connected across switches 1, 2, and 3.

Figure 2. MSTP sample configuration
Perform the following procedures on each switch to configure MSTP:
1. On the VLAN Configuration page, create VLANs 300 and 500 (see
Settings on page 95).
2. On the VLAN Membership page, include ports g1–mg7 as tagged (T) or untagged (U)
members of VLAN 300 and VLAN 500 (see
3. On the STP Configuration page, enable the Spanning Tree State option (see
Settings on page 116).
Use the default values for the rest of the STP configuration settings. By default, the STP
operation mode is MSTP and the configuration name is the switch MAC address.
