Configure and view the port settings for an MST instance

You can configure and display the port setting for a Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) on the
switch.
A port can become diagnostically disabled (D-Disable) if a severe DOT1S error condition
occurs. The most common cause is that BPDU flooding occurs for DOT1S, for example, if
DOT1S receives more than 15 BPDUs during 3 seconds. Other causes for DOT1S D-Disable
are rare.
To configure and view the port settings for an MST instance:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
