Ensure that trunks carry all of the VLANs mapped to an instance or do not carry any VLANs at all
for this instance.
Do not connect switches with access links because access links may partition a VLAN.
Complete any MST configuration involving a large number of either existing or new logical VLAN
ports during a maintenance window because the complete MST database gets reinitialized for any
incremental change (such as adding new VLANs to instances or moving VLANs across instances).

The STP commands described in this chapter can be configured on any LAN port, but they are in
effect only on LAN ports configured with the switchport keyword.

EXEC mode-level commands by entering the do keyword before the EXEC mode-level command.
