In this example the Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via GS3700/XGS3700 Series User’s Guide...
Trunking can be used if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link. Figure 2 High Performance Switching 10 Gbps Trunk Branch GS3700/XGS3700 Series User’s Guide...

MRSTP (Multiple RSTP) is ZyXEL’s proprietary feature that is compatible with RSTP and STP. With MRSTP, you can have more than one spanning tree on your Switch and assign port(s) to each tree.

• A VLAN can be mapped to a specific Multiple Spanning Tree Instance (MSTI). MSTI allows multiple VLANs to use the same spanning tree. • Load-balancing is possible as traffic from different VLANs can use distinct paths in a region. GS3700/XGS3700 Series User’s Guide...
