MSTP Configuration and Design

This course covers the fundamentals and design of Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) for building scalable and efficient Layer 2 networks. You’ll learn how to configure MST regions, manage VLANs with logical instances, and optimize traffic paths to prevent switching loops. Through hands-on GNS3 labs, you'll gain practical skills in implementing MSTP in enterprise network environments.
