The following topology is an example of a rapid-PVST+ configuration. Switches A and B are in the aggregation layer, and switches C and D are in the access layer. Configure switch A as the root bridge of VLAN 100 and VLAN 200, switch B as the root bridge of VLAN 300, and switch C as the root bridge of VLAN 400.

Configuring Switch A
For Switch A, configure ge-1/1/1~ge-1/1/3 as trunk ports; ge-1/1/1 as a member of VLANs 100, 200, 300, and 400; ge-1/1/2 as a member of VLANs 200 and 300; and ge-1/1/3 as a member of VLANs 100 and 200.

Configuring Switch B
Configure ge-1/1/1~ge-1/1/3 as trunk ports, and ge-1/1/1 as a member of VLANs 100, 200, 300, and 400; ge-1/1/2 as a member of VLANs 100 and 200; and ge-1/1/3 as a member of VLANs 200 and 300.
