What is a key reason for using Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) vs. Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP) on a network with multiple VLANs?
Answer(s)
- MSTP supports fast-forwarding configuration on edge ports
- MSTP supports load balancing Virtual LANs (VLANs) across multiple data paths
- MSTP allows you to choose the root bridge so you can eliminate the need to use VLANs on aLayer 2 network
- MSTP allows you to configure more than one switch to be the Primary Root for a MultipleSpanning Tree Instance (MSTI) to provide better resilience when VLANs are used
Correct Answer
MSTP supports load balancing Virtual LANs (VLANs) across multiple data paths
