Quite good idea, if that suits your needs of course.

	Or run etherchannel and achieve fast convergence with less
complexity.



Thanks,

Spanning tree can take a minute or more to work its magic, depending.
Make sure that the failover happens fast enough for you.  If it doesn't
I think you're back to rapid spanning tree to lower the amount of time
it takes to fail over.

I don't need stp instance per vlan, I need compatibily with old dot1q
switch that support the simplest stp (802.1d) - it get two links (with
group of dot1q vlans) and will switch on these ports using stp.
Does mst be compatible with old stp implementation?
