Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol/
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Configuration
Alteon OS supports the IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and IEEE 802.1s
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP). MSTP allows you to map many VLANs to a small
number of spanning tree groups, each with its own topology.
Up to 32 Spanning Tree Groups can be configured in mstp mode. MRST is turned off by
default.
NOTE – When Multiple Spanning Tree is turned on, VLAN 4095 is moved from Spanning Tree
Group 128 to the Common Internal Spanning Tree (CIST). When Multiple Spanning Tree is
turned off, VLAN 4095 is moved back to Spanning Tree Group 128.
