Mstp Example Configuration - NETGEAR GS724TPv2 User Manual

NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2

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 1/0/1–1/0/5 are connected to host stations, so those links are not subject to network
loops. Ports 1/0/6–1/0/8 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 101).
2. On the VLAN Membership page, include ports 1/0/1–1/0/8 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 117).
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.
4. On the CST Configuration page (see
bridge priority value for each of the three switch connections to force Switch 1 to be the root
bridge:
• Connection to Switch 1. 4096
• Connection to Switch 2. 12288
• Connection to Switch 3. 20480
Note: Bridge priority values are multiples of 4096.
