Defining MSTP Instance Settings
MSTP maps VLANs into STP instances. Packets assigned to various VLANs are transmitted along
different paths within Multiple Spanning Tree Regions (MST Regions). Regions are one or more
Multiple Spanning Tree bridges by which frames can be transmitted. In configuring MSTP, the MST
region to which the device belongs is defined. A configuration consists of the name, revision, and
region to which the device belongs.
Network Administrators can define MSTP Instances settings using the MSTP Instance Settings Page.
1. Click Bridging > Spanning Tree > MSTP > Instance Settings. The MSTP Instance Settings Page
opens:
2. Define the relevant fields.
3. Click Apply. The local user settings are modified, and the device is updated.
