Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation Configuring MSTP Syntax: [no] spanning-tree pending < apply | config-name | config-revision | instance | reset > This command exchanges the currently active MSTP configuration with the current pending MSTP configuration. Options are as follows: apply: Exchanges the currently active MSTP configuration with the pending MSTP configuration. config-name: Specifies the pending MST region name. Must be the same for all MSTP switches in the region. (Default: The switch's MAC address.) config-revision: Specifies the pending MST region configuration revision number. Must be the same for all MSTP switches in the region. (Default: 0). instance < 1..32 > vlan < vid | vid-range >: Creates the pending instance and assigns one or more VLANs to the instance. reset: Copies the switch's currently active MSTP configuration to the pending configuration. This is useful when you want to experiment with the current MSTP configuration while maintaining an unchanged version. To Create a Pending MSTP Configuration. This procedure creates a pending MSTP configuration and exchanges it with the active MSTP configuration: 1. Configure the VLANs you want included in any instances in the new region. When you execute the pending command, all VLANs configured on the switch will be assigned to a single pending IST instance unless assigned to other, pending MST instances.(The pending command creates the region's IST instance automatically.) 2. Configure MSTP as the spanning-tree protocol, then execute write mem and reboot. (The pending option is available only with MSTP enabled.) 3. Configure the pending region config-name to assign to the switch. 4. Configure the pending config-revision number for the region name. 5. If you want an MST instance other than the IST instance, configure the instance number and assign the appropriate VLANs (VIDs) using the pending instance < 1..32 > vlan < vid | vid-range > command. 6. Repeat step 5 for each additional MST instance you want to configure. 4-41
