DESCRIPTION
Enter a descriptive name (up to 31 characters) of an MST region.
Enter a number to identify a region's configuration. Devices must have the same
revision level to belong to the same region.
Select this option to activate MSTP on the system.
Priority is used in determining the root switch. The switch with the highest priority
(lowest numeric value) becomes the STP root switch. If all switches have the same
priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address will then become the root switch.
Enter a number between 0 and 65535. The system will automatically round the
number to the nearest multiple of 4096.
The lower the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this switch.
Bridge Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines Hello Time,
Max Age and Forwarding Delay.
This is the time interval in seconds between BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Units)
configuration message generations by the root switch. The allowed range is 1 to
10 seconds.
