Influencing PVST+ Root Selection
As shown in the previous per-VLAN spanning tree illustration, all VLANs use the same forwarding topology because R2
is elected the root, and all GigabitEthernet ports have the same cost.
The following per-VLAN spanning tree illustration changes the bridge priority of each bridge so that a different
forwarding topology is generated for each VLAN. This behavior demonstrates how you can use PVST+ to achieve load
balancing.
