The switch supports the IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree
Protocol (MSTP). MSTP allows you to map many VLANs to a small number of spanning tree groups, each with its own
topology.
MSTP supports up to 31 Spanning Tree Groups on the switch (STG 32 is reserved for switch management). MRST is
turned off by default.
NOTE: When Multiple Spanning Tree is turned on, VLAN 1 is moved from Spanning Tree Group 1 to the
Common Internal Spanning Tree (CIST). When Multiple Spanning Tree is turned off, VLAN 1 is moved back to
Spanning Tree Group 1.
The following table describes the Multiple Spanning Tree Configuration Menu options.
