Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method for implementing domain root switching based on multiple spanning tree protocols. Background technique
[0002] IEEE802.1d and IEEE80.1w provide solutions to avoid data loops and realize redundant link backup in simple switching networks; in order to adapt to large complex switching networks with multiple VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks, Virtual Local Area Network), IEEE802 The .1s Draft14 draft further proposes MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol), which divides one or more switching devices into different MST (Multiple Spanning Tree) domains, and maintains multiple MSTI (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) domains in one domain. Spanning tree instance), each MSTI has a different ID (identification), and each MSTI allows data packets of different VLANs to be forwarded according to their own paths. The instances are compl...
