Configuration Task List - H3C S7500E Series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – MSTP
H3C S7500E Series Ethernet Switches
In addition to basic MSTP functions, many management-facilitating special functions
are provided, as follows:
Root bridge hold
Root bridge backup
Root guard
BPDU guard
Loop guard
TC-BPDU guard
1.1.3 Protocols and Standards
MSTP is documented in:
IEEE 802.1d: Spanning Tree Protocol
IEEE 802.1w: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
IEEE 802.1s: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

1.2 Configuration Task List

Before configuring MSTP, you need to know the position of each device in each MST
instance: root bridge or leave node. In each instance, one, and only one device acts as
the root bridge, while all others as leaf nodes.
Complete these tasks to configure MSTP:
