6. Configure the MST values:
• MST ID. Specify the ID of the MST to create. The valid values for this are 1 to 15.
• Priority. The bridge priority value for the MST. When switches or bridges are running
STP, each is assigned a priority. After exchanging BPDUs, the switch with the lowest
priority value becomes the root bridge. The bridge priority is a multiple of 4096. The
valid range is 0–61440. The default value is 32768.
• VLAN ID. The menu includes all VLANs that are configured on the switch. You can
select VLANs that must be associated with the MST instance or clear VLANs that are
already associated with the MST instance.
