All devices on the network are in the same MST region.
•
•
Packets of VLAN 10, VLAN 20, VLAN 30, and VLAN 40 are forwarded along MSTI 1, MSTI 2,
MSTI 3, and MSTI 0, respectively.
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, and the root bridge of MSTI 3 is Switch C.
