Section IV: Spanning Tree Protocols

Here is an example. Let’s assume that you have two regions that contain
the following VLANS:

Region 1 VLANs

Region 2 VLANs

Sales

Hardware Engineering

Presales

Software Engineering

Marketing

Technical Support

Advertising

Product Management

Technical Support

CAD Development

Product Management

Accounting

Project Management
Accounting

The two regions share three VLANs: Technical Support, Product
Management, and Accounting. You could group those VLANs into the
same MSTI in each region. For instance, for Region 1 you might group the
three VLANs in MSTI 11 and in Region 2 you could group them into MSTI
6. Once grouped, you can connect the VLANs across the regions using a
link of tagged ports.
