8-Port Gigabit (PoE+) Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with (2 SFP or 2 Copper Ports and)
6. Select Switching > STP > Advanced > MST Configuration.
7. Configure the MST values:
• MST ID. Specify the ID of the MST to create. The range is from 1 to 4094. This is
visible only when the select option of the MST ID select box is selected.
• 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. If you
specify a priority that is not a multiple of 4096, the priority is automatically set to the
next lowest priority that is a multiple of 4096. For example, if you set the priority to any
value between 0 and 4095, the switch automatically sets the value to 0. The default
value is 32768. The range is from 0 to 61440.
• 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.
8. Click the Add button.
The MST is added.
