Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation
Configuring MSTP
On other ProCurve switches, only the VLANs that are present will be included,
that is, only VLANs 1, 5, and 7 would be included. The switch will map these
VLANs to MSTP Instance 1, which results in a Configuration Digest that is not
the same as the Configuration Digest for the switches running this enhance-
ment. (See Figure 4-10 and Figure 4-11)
Figure 4-10 shows an example of an MSTP instance configured with the VLAN
range option. All the VLANs are included in the instance whether they exist
or not. Figure 4-11 shows an example of an MSTP instance configured on
another ProCurve switch. Only VLANs 1, 5, and 7 are included in the instance.
Figure 4-10. An Example of Mapping VLANs with the Range Option where all VLANs are Included
The Configuration Digest value shown in Figure 4-11 is not the same as in
Figure 4-10, indicating that these switches do not operate in the same instance.
The Common Spanning Tree (CST) will still have the correct root associations.
