Section 14.3.6
Managing Multiple Spanning Tree Instances Globally
MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol), as defined by the IEEE 802.1 standard, maps multiple VLANs to a single
Spanning Tree instance, otherwise referred to as a Multiple Spanning Tree Instance (MSTI).
Each MSTI is assigned an MST ID and a bridge priority:
• The MST ID is used to associate the MSTI with a VLAN.
• The bridge priority is used by all devices in the Spanning Tree topology to determine which device among
them is elected the root device or backbone. An ideal root device is one that is central to the network and not
connected to end devices.
For more information about MSTP, refer to

The cost to use in cost calculations, when the cost style parameter is set to STP in the
bridge RSTP parameters configuration. Setting the cost manually provides the ability
to preferentially select specific ports to carry traffic over others. Leave this field set to
'auto' to use the standard STP port costs as negotiated (four for 1Gbps, 19 for 100 Mbps
links and 100 for 10 Mbps links). For MSTP, this parameter applies to both external and
internal path cost.
