ProSafe® Gigabit L3 Managed Stackable Switches Software Administration Manual
Perform the following procedures on each switch to configure MSTP:
1. Use the VLAN Configuration screen to create VLANs 300 and 500 (see “VLAN
Configuration” on page 3-132).
2. Use the VLAN Membership screen to include ports 1/0/1 - 1/0/8 as tagged (T) or untagged
(U) members of VLAN 300 and VLAN 500 (see “VLAN Configuration” on page 3-132).
3. From the STP Configuration screen, enable the Spanning Tree State option (see “STP
Configuration” on page 3-153).
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. From the CST Configuration screen, set the Bridge Priority value for each of the three
switches to force Switch 1 to be the root bridge:
• Switch 1: 4096
• Switch 2: 12288
• Switch 3: 20480
Note: Bridge priority values are multiples of 4096.
If you do not specify a root bridge and all switches have the same Bridge Priority value,
the switch with the lowest MAC address is elected as the root bridge (see “CST
Configuration” on page 3-157).
5. From the CST Port Configuration screen, select ports 1/0/1 - 1/0/8 and select Enable from
the STP Status menu (see “CST Port Configuration” on page 3-159).
6. Click Apply.
