Configuring MSTP Multi-Process
On a network deployed with Layer 2 single-access rings and multi-access rings, configure multiple MSTP processes so that spanning trees of different processes are calculated independently and do not affect each other.
Pre-configuration Tasks
MSTP ensures that spanning trees in rings are calculated independently. After MSTP multi-process is enabled, each MSTP process can manage certain ports on a device. Each Layer 2 interface can be managed by multiple MSTP processes.
Before configuring MSTP multi-process, complete and activate the MST region configuration.
