The appropriate value for this parameter depends on a number of variables; the size of your network is a primary factor. For large networks, you should specify a value large enough to allow the root bridge sufficient time to propagate a topology change throughout the entire network.

    RSTP Networks network can operate together to create a single spanning tree domain. If you decide to activate spanning tree on the switch, Allied Telesis recommends RSTP instead of STP even when all of other switches in the network are running STP. The AT-GS950/48 switch can combine RSTP with the STP of the other switches.

Referring again to Figure 140, the tagged link in MSTI 1 is carrying traffic for both the Presales and Sales VLANs between the two switches while the tagged link in MSTI 2 is carrying traffic for the Design and Engineering VLANs.

    VLAN: Accounting (VID 4) VLAN: Accounting (VID 4) The AT-GS950/48 switch determines regional boundaries by examining the MSTP BPDUs received on the ports. A port that receives a MSTP BPDU from another bridge with regional information different from its own is considered to be a boundary port and the bridge connected to the port as belonging to another region.

    The CIST regional root is set with the CIST Priority parameter. This parameter, which functions similar to the RSTP bridge priority value, selects the root bridge for the entire bridged network. If the AT-GS950/48 switch has the lowest CIST Priority value among all the spanning tree bridges, it functions as the root bridge for all the MSTP regions and STP and RSTP single- instance spanning trees in the network.

    Appendix A: MSTP Overview Figure 142. CIST and VLAN Guideline - Example 2 When port 3 on switch B receives a BPDU, the switch notes the port sending the packet belongs only to CIST 0. Therefore, switch B uses CIST 0 in determining whether a loop exists. The result would be that the switch detects a loop because the other port is also receiving BPDU packets from CIST 0.
