MCT configuration examples using STP

Although MCT is considered an alternative to Spanning Tree, Spanning Tree protocols can be enabled
in an MCT configuration as an added protection for any Layer 2 loops. The following use-case
scenarios demonstrate the use of Spanning Tree protocols in an MCT configuration:

Example 1: Configure the Per-VLAN Spanning Tree on the MCT Clients

on page 211

Example 2: Configure Single Spanning Tree (SSTP) on the MCT Clients

on page 211

Example 3: Configure Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) on the MCT Clients

on page 212

The examples show STP elements enabled on MCT clients. It is recommended that you enable STP
only on MCT clients, NOT on MCT cluster devices.

The following figure shows the base configuration of the MCT cluster, MCT clients, and the associated
link-aggregation. The scenarios are depicted based on this network topology.

NOTE
The LAG IDs are locally significant only and need not be matching on the two ends of a LAG.
