STP version: -
1. CST (Common spanning tree): -
IEEE standard (802.1d) Open standard Generates single STP (instance) BPDU for all vlan Low CPU utilization No load balancing
2. PVST (per vlan spanning-tree)
Cisco proprietary Generates per vlan STP instance (BPDU) Load balancing High CPU utilization Not compatible with CST Supports only ISL Trunking encapsulation
3. PVST+ (per vlan spanning-tree)
Default STP mode of most switches Generates per vlan STP instance (BPDU) Load balancing High CPU utilization Compatible with CST Supports Both trunking encapsulation Dot1Q and ISL
Root bridge manipulation by changing port priority: -
Port priority configure always DP port
Configure port priority for all vlan: -
# int f1/0/21 # spanning-tree port-priority 112 (By default port priority is 128)
Configure port priority for selected vlan: -
# int f1/0/21 #spanning-tree vlan 1-10 port-priority 112
RSTP (Rapid spanning tree protocol): -
Open standard IEEE Standard (802.1W) Generates STP single for all vlan No load balancing Low CPU utilization Fast convergence RPVST+ (Rapid PVST +) Cisco proprietary Generates per vlan STP instance Load balancing High CPU utilization Fast Convergence
