That's exactly why I was warning about the 16/64 instance limit. This
was my mindset when moving from PVST to MST, and I suspect there are
many others out there thinking this way. But if you have more than 64
VLANs, you can't do that. You'll have to look at their topology and
That's not what I meant. I just meant we'd have to decide which instance
(of likely just a few of them) to assign every VLAN to...as every VLAN has
to be assigned to some instance. I should setup a lab of switches again
and play around with MST. IIRC, the docs I've read about MST on cisco.com
generally split up the VLANs between MST instances 2 and 3.
