Gtacknowledge an example of pvst per vlan spanning tree. I want this switch to recognise this vlan in spanningtree and become root. Youll learn the configuration of pvst, how blocking occurs within each link, and why the one spanning tree configuration demonstrates better load balancing. Ensure all switches run pvst default on most cisco switches.
It might take up to 50 seconds to transition from a blocking state to a forwarding state. Arista switches support rapidpvst, which is a variation of pvst based on.
