PVST Definition: PVST+ stands for Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus, a Cisco proprietary enhancement to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) that maintains a separate spanning tree instance for each VLAN.
PVST+ stands for Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus. It is a Cisco proprietary protocol used in networking to create a separate spanning tree instance for each VLAN configured in a network. PVST+ allows for load balancing and redundancy by enabling independent spanning trees for each VLAN, ensuring that if one VLAN fails, other VLANs remain unaffected.
PVST is one of the topics you'll master in the CCNA Boot Camp.
