Creating and managing multiple STGs
This chapter describes using Device Manager to manage multiple Spanning Tree
Groups (STGs) on your Business Policy Switch 2000. With software version 1.2
and later, the BPS 2000 supports multiple STGs. This chapter includes the
following sections:
• “STGs‚” next
• “Configuring STGs” on page 142
• “Deleting an STG configuration” on page 146
• “Displaying STG status” on page 147
• “Displaying STG ports” on page 148
STGs
The BPS 2000 supports a maximum of 8 multiple STGs, either all in one
standalone switch or across a stack.When working with STGs, observe the
following rules:
• Enable load balancing using multiple STGs by configuring each path with a
different VLAN and then assigning each VLAN to a separate STG.
• Each STG must be independently configured.
• With software version 1.2 and later, the BPS 2000 supports a maximum of
256 port-based VLANs. With a maximum of 8 STGs, on average, each STG
will have 32 VLANs.
• In the default configuration of the BPS 2000, a single STG with the ID of 1
includes all ports on the switch.
— The Default STG sends only untagged BPDUs in order to operate with all
devices that support only one instance of STP.
