    This document provides instructions for deploying an MSTP region configuration across multiple network devices. The steps include inspecting the initial MSTP configuration, validating load balancing across the region, and applying the standardized MSTP configuration to ensure consistent operation. Key tasks include verifying VLAN load sharing across connections, applying the MSTP configuration files to implement the defined region, and saving the configuration changes to startup and checkpoint files for future use.

    ===========================
    Lab 5.2: Deploying MSTP
    ===================================================================================
    ===========================
    Objectives
    After completing this lab, you will be able to:
    • Deploy an MST Region Configuration
    • Draw per instance topologies
    • Validate the load sharing effect

    =======================================================
    Task 1: Inspect MST Region Configuration
    =======================================================

    ===================
    PC-1
    ===================

    ===================
    Core-1 (via PC-1)
    ===================
    1. Access Core-1.
    2. Display the current MST region configuration.
    Core-1(config)# show spanning-tree mst-config

    ===================
    Core-2 (via PC-1)
    ===================
    3. Move to Core-2 and repeat step 2.

    ===================
    Access-1
    ===================

    4. Move to Access-1 and use the “show spanning-tree” command. Then move to Access-2
    and use it again.

    T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree mst-config

    ===================
    Access-2
    ===================
    5. Move to Access-2 and use a filtered version of the same command.

    T11-Access-2# show spanning-tree mst-config | include MST

    =======================================================
    Task 2: Inspect Load Balancing
    =======================================================
    Steps
    ===================
    Access-2
    ===================
    1. Move to Access-2’s console.
    2. Create interface vlan 711, then assign it IP address 10.7.11.4/24

    T11-Access-2(config)# interface vlan 7X11


    T11-Access-2(config-if-vlan)# ip address 10.7.11.4/24
    T11-Access-2(config-if-vlan)# exit

    3. See the newly created SVI details using “show ip interface vlan711”

    T11-Access-2# show ip interface vlan1711

    ===================
    PC-3
    ===================
    7. Access PC-3.
    8. Run a continuous ping to Access-2 IP address on VLAN 711 (10.X.11.4). Ping
    should be successful.

    ping 10.7.11.4

    ===================
    PC-1
    ===================
    9. Access PC-1.
    10. Run a continuous ping to PC-4’s IP address on VLAN X12 (10.X.12.104). Ping
    should be successful.
    *********************************************************
    ping 10.7.12.104

    ===================
    Access-1
    ===================
    11. Move back to Access-1.

    12. Display the MAC address table.


    *********************************************************
    T11-Access-1(config)# show mac-address-table

    13. Apply the STP region configuration:


    • Config-name: CXF
    • Config-revision: 1
    • Instance 1 VLANs: 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711, 811, 911, 1011,
    1111, 1211, 1311 and 1411.
    • Instance 2 VLANs: 112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712, 812, 912, 1012,
    1112, 1212, 1312 and 1412.

    !!!
    TIP: You can find a copy of that script in the “CXF Region Configuration.txt”
    contained in the “CXF Student Folder” on PC-1’s desktop. Feel free to copy
    and paste it when needed.
    !!!

    T11-Access-1# configure terminal


    T11-Access-1(config)# spanning-tree config-name CXF
    T11-Access-1(config)# spanning-tree config-revision 1
    T11-Access-1(config)# spanning-tree instance 1 vlan

    T11-Access-1(config)# end

    14. Confirm config ID, revision number and digest match the ones seen on Task 1
    step 3.

    T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree mst-config | include MST

    15. Move to Access-2 and repeat steps 12 and 13.

    T11-Access-1(config)# end
    T11-Access-2# show spanning-tree mst-config | include MST

    ===================
    Core-1 (via PC-1)
    ===================
    16. Move to Core-1 and explore its STP priorities configuration.

    ===================
    17. Move to Core-2 and repeat the previous step.

    Core-2(config)# show running-config | include priority

    18. Move to Access-1.


    ===================
    Access-1
    ===================

    19. Use the “show spanning-tree mst 0” command to look at information about
    instance 0.
    ***********************************************************************************
    **
    T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree mst 0 | begin 25 Root | exclude Disabled

    20. Repeat step 19 for instance 1 and 2.


    ***********************************************************************************
    **
    T11-Access-1# show spanning-tree mst 1 | begin 25 Root | exclude Disabled

    21. Display the MAC address table.


    ***********************************************************************************
    **
    T11-Access-1(config)# show mac-address-table

    ===================
    PC-1 and PC-3
    ===================
    22. Stop the pings.

    ===================================================================================
    ===========================
    Task 3: Save Your Configurations
    ===================================================================================
    ===========================
    Objectives

    Save your configurations and create checkpoints. Note that lab checkpoints might be
    used by later activities.
    Steps
    ===================
    Access-1 and Access-2
    ===================
    1. Save the current Access and Core switches’ configuration in the startup
    checkpoint.

    T11-Access-1# write memory


    T11-Access-2# write memory

    2. Backup the current Access switches’ configuration as a custom checkpoint called


    Lab5-2_final.

    T11-Access-1# copy running-config checkpoint Lab5-2_final


    T11-Access-2# copy running-config checkpoint Lab5-2_final
