Field Description
MST Use the drop-down menu to create and configure a new MST or select an existing MST to
display or configure.
MST ID This is only visible when Create is selected from the MST field drop-down menu. 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 , 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.
