Can someone please give a brief difference between STP, RSTP, PVST, PVST+, CST, MST.?
Just for the basic understandability.
And what is the current protocol that is being used in cisco switches.

i was so confused about this but now i came to this conclusion
I think "PVST" and "PVST+" are the same thing, dont confuse yourself with it.
"PVST+" additional feature of Cisco, added to IEEE Standard 802.1d STP.
which means there will be separate INSTANCE per VLAN.
Nowadays PVST+ is oftently use as PVST. So PVST = PVST+
"PVST" is Cisco default STP Mode.
To enable "PVST+" this command is use " spanning-tree mode pvst "
