Dears,
I have a query about MSTP instances number and would like your advise plz
If access switch [A] has 400 VLANs and it connected to two distribution switches B & C
Now we have have 2 possible STP topologies thus 2 instances are needed
My question now, what is the recommnended to configure from below & why ?
1- Configure only 1 instance so now you 2 instances ; instance 0 and instance 1
or
2- Configure 2 instances so now you have 3 instances; instance 1 & instance 2 beside instance 0
Many Thanks
BR,
Sherif Ismail

Wonderful about the state agency, but I had to ask, do you know whether it was RIPv1 or RIPv2?

I honestly don't know. I just know it was RIP. I'm assuming they were running RIPv2. I wonder if they realize that RIP sends out multiple updates if you have more than 25 routes..
