Configuration Examples
305
NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2
MSTP Example Configuration
This example shows how to create an MSTP instance from the switch. The example network
includes three different switches that serve different locations in the network. In this example,
ports 1/0/1–1/0/5 are connected to host stations, so those links are not subject to network
loops. Ports 1/0/6–1/0/8 are connected across switches 1, 2, and 3.
Figure 2. MSTP sample configuration
Perform the following procedures on each switch to configure MSTP:
1. On the VLAN Configuration page, create VLANs 300 and 500 (see Configure VLAN
Settings
on page 101).
2. On the VLAN Membership page, include ports 1/0/1–1/0/8 as tagged (T) or untagged (U)
members of VLAN 300 and VLAN 500 (see
Configure VLAN Settings on page 101).
3. On the STP Configuration page, enable the Spanning Tree State option (see Configure STP
Settings
on page 117).
Use the default values for the rest of the STP configuration settings. By default, the STP
operation mode is MSTP and the configuration name is the switch MAC address.
4. On the CST Configuration page (see Configure CST Port Settings on page 121), set the
bridge priority value for each of the three switch connections to force Switch 1 to be the root
bridge:
• Connection to Switch 1. 4096
• Connection to Switch 2. 12288
• Connection to Switch 3. 20480
Note: Bridge priority values are multiples of 4096.
