On the VLAN Membership page, include ports g1–mg7 as tagged (T) or untagged (U)

members of VLAN 300 and VLAN 500 (see

On the STP Configuration page, enable the Spanning Tree State option (see

Switch 2

. 12288

Switch 3

. 20480

Note:

Bridge priority values are multiples of 4096.

If you do not specify a root bridge and all switches are assigned the same bridge priority
value, the switch with the lowest MAC address is elected as the root bridge (see

Configure CST Settings on page

120
