Changing the Spanning-Tree Mode

Different types of spanning tree can be configured on a Cisco switch. The options varyaccording to the platform:• Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST)—There is one instance of spanning tree for eachVLAN. This is a Cisco proprietary protocol.• Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+)—Also Cisco proprietary. Has addedextensions to the PVST protocol.• Rapid PVST+—This mode is the same as PVST+ except that it uses a rapidconvergence based on the 802.1w standard.• Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)—IEEE 802.1s. Extends the 802.1wRapid Spanning Tree (RST) algorithm to multiple spanning trees. Multiple VLANscan map to a single instance of RST. You cannot run MSTP and PVST at the sametime.

EtherChannel

EtherChannel provides fault-tolerant, high-speed links between switches, routers, andservers. An EtherChannel consists of individual Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet linksbundled into a single logical link. If a link within an EtherChannel fails, traffic previouslycarried over that failed link changes to the remaining links within the EtherChannel.
