Field Description
MST ID This is only visible when the select option of the MST ID select box is selected. The
ID of the MST being created. Valid values for this are between 1 and 4094.
Priority Specifies 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
the priority is attempted to be set to any value between 0 and 4095, it will be set to 0.
The default priority is 32768.The valid range is 0–61440.
