Note: When the spanning tree mode is set to RSTP, or a variant of RSTP, users may still see MSTP
instances in the running configuration if they were previously configured. There is no functional impact, and
any commands used in the MSTP configuration can be removed.
2.6.2 Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol — Cisco Catalyst
The configuration command spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst enables RPVST+. No additional VLAN-
specific configuration is required on the Cisco Catalyst. The show spanning-tree vlan 30-35
summary command is issued to confirm forwarding state on all participating interfaces. For each root bridge,
these can be compared to the Dell N-Series switch output to trace the path of any given VLAN.
