MSTP instances
With MSTP, each instance converges independently of other instances defined on the
network. As a result, each instance can have a different root bridge and block
different redundant links.
In the following example, switches in instance 1 elect Switch B as the root bridge.
Each switch then calculates the lowest-cost path to the root bridge, resulting in the
root paths shown here.
