Comment:

May be the MST Region is the best solution for implementing redundant topology.
If we want the configurations more reliable just adding the more cables to each switch, means adding redundancy

Task 1: Configure MST on the Access & Distribution Switches and Verify the Configuration

Read the instructions...

Step 1: Connect to ASWx

User Access Verification

Password:

ASW1>ena

Password:

ASW1#

Step 2: Enter the MST configuration mode

ASW1(config)#spanning-tree mst configuration

Step 3: Map the VLAN to MST instances

ASW1(config-mst)#instance 1 vlan 1, 11, 14

ASW1(config-mst)#instance 2 vlan 12-13

Step 4: Assign a region name to MST

ASW1(config-mst)#name building1

Step 5: Assign a revision name to MST

ASW1(config-mst)#revision 1

Step 6: Configure switch using MST mode

ASW1(config)#spanning-tree mode mst

Step 7: Exit from configuration mode

ASW1(config-mst)#end

ASW1#

Step 8: Connect to DSWx

User Access Verification

Password:

Password:

DSW1#

Step 9:

DSW1#conf t

DSW1(config)#spanning-tree mst configuration

Step 10: Map the VLAN to MST instances

DSW1(config-mst)#instance 1 vlan 1, 11, 14

DSW1(config-mst)#instance 2 vlan 12-13

Step 11: Assign a region name to MST

DSW1(config-mst)#name building1

Step 12: Assign a revision name to MST

DSW1(config-mst)#revision 1

Step 13:

DSW1(config-mst)#spanning-tree mst 1 root primary

DSW1(config-mst)#spanning-tree mst 2 root secondary

Step 14:

DSW1(config-mst)#do sh spanning-tree

Step 15:

DSW1(config-mst)#spanning-tree mst pre-standard

Step 16:

DSW1(config-mst)#spanning-tree mode mst

Step 17: Verify with show spanning-tree mst configurations command

Step 18: Enter command show spanning-tree, check if the switch running MST mode

Step 19 – Step 22: Read Lab Guide and follow the instructions
