Note:
In a network that contains switches with both GVRP and MSTP employed, GVRP
packets are forwarded along the CIST. If you want to broadcast packets of a specific
VLAN through GVRP, be sure to map the VLAN to the CIST when configuring the
MSTP VLAN mapping table (The CIST of a network is the spanning tree instance
numbered 0.)
1.3.1 Prerequisites
The status of the switches in the spanning trees is determined. That is, the status (root,
branch, or leaf) of each switch in each spanning tree instance is determined.
1.3.2 MST Region Configuration
Refer to section 1.2.2 "MST Region Configuration".
1.3.3 MSTP Operation Mode Configuration
Refer to section 1.2.6 "MSTP Operation Mode Configuration".
1.3.4 Timeout Time Factor Configuration
Refer to section 1.2.10 "Timeout Time Factor Configuration".
1.3.5 Maximum Transmitting Speed Configuration
Refer to section 1.2.11 "Maximum Transmitting Speed Configuration".
1.3.6 Edge Port Configuration
Refer to section 1.2.12 "Edge Port Configuration".
1.3.7 Path Cost Configuration
The path cost parameters reflects the link rates on ports. For a port on an
MSTP-enabled switch, the path cost may differ with spanning tree instance. You can
enable flows of different VLANs to travel along different physical links by configuring
appropriate path costs on ports, so that load balancing can be achieved by VLANs.
