Example: Configuring Network Regions for VLANs with MSTP
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is used to create a loop-free topology in networks using multiple spanning-tree regions, each region containing multiple spanning-tree instances (MSTIs). MSTIs provide different paths for different VLANs. This functionality facilitates more efficient load sharing across redundant links.
You can create up to 64 MSTI instances for QFX Series products, and each MSTI supports up to 4094 VLANs.
This example describes how to configure MSTP on four QFX3500 switches:
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
- Junos OS Release 11.1 for the QFX3500 switches
- Four QFX3500 switches
Overview and Topology
When the number of VLANs grows in a network, MSTP provides a more faster way of creating a loop-free topology using MSTIs. Each MSTI in the spanning-tree domain maintains its own tree. Each tree can be mapped to different links, utilizing bandwidth that would be unavailable to a single tree. MSTIs reduce demand on system resources.
Figure 1: Network Topology for MSTP
The interfaces shown in Table 1 will be configured for MSTP.
 | Note: You can configure MSTP on logical or physical interfaces. This example shows MSTP configured on logical interfaces. |

The topology in Figure 1 shows a Common Internal Spanning Tree (CIST). The CIST is a single spanning tree connecting all devices in the network. The switch with the highest priority is elected as the root bridge of the CIST.
Also in an MSTP topology are ports that have specific roles:
- The root port is responsible for forwarding data to the root bridge.
- The alternate port is a standby port for the root port. When a root port goes down, the alternate port becomes the active root port.
- The designated port forwards data to the downstream network segment or device.
- The backup port is a backup port for the designated port. When a designated port goes down, the backup port becomes the active designated port and starts forwarding data.
In this example, one MSTP region, region1, contains Switch 1, Switch 2, Switch 3, and Switch 4. Within the region, four VLANs are created:
- The sales-vlan supports sales traffic and has a VLAN tag identifier of 10.
- The engineering-vlan supports data traffic and has a VLAN tag identifier of 20.
- The publications-vlan supports publications VLAN traffic (for supplicants that fail 802.1X authentication) and has a VLAN tag identifier of 30.
- The support-vlan supports video traffic and has a VLAN tag identifier of 40.
The VLANs are associated with specific interfaces on each of the four switches. Two MSTIs, 1 and 2, are then associated with the VLAN tag identifiers, and some MSTP parameters, such as cost, are configured on each switch.
