Implementing Shortest Path Bridging

1. Configure Spanning Tree on all devices in the region:
   • Set the Spanning Tree version to SPT on all devices in the SPB region
   • Configure the same MST configuration name on all devices in the SPB region
2. Configure an SPVID pool for this SPB region (same VLAN range for all devices in the region).
3. Assign the base-VLANs that will be used to ingress and egress the SPB region to SID 4093 or SID spbv.
4. Enable SPB on all ports that will take part in the SPB region.
5. Optionaly, assign the desired ECT algorithm to each configured base-VLAN (unless the default algorithm is desired).
6. Optionally, administratively assign the base-VLAN to SPVID mapping for the base-VLAN on each device in the SPB region. When administratively assigning the base-VLAN to SPVID mapping, change the SPB VLAN mode to manual.
