Dell S6100 Configuration Manual page 550

• Is the Region name blank? That may mean that a name was configured on one router and but was not configured or was
configured differently on another router (spelling and capitalization counts).
• MSTP Instances.
• To verify the VLAN to MSTP instance mapping, use the show commands.
• Are there "extra" MSTP instances in the Sending or Received logs? This may mean that an additional MSTP instance was
configured on one router but not the others.
The following example shows the show run spanning-tree mstp command.
Dell#show run spanning-tree mstp
!
protocol spanning-tree mstp
name Tahiti
revision 123
MSTI 1 VLAN 100
MSTI 2 VLAN 200,300
The following example shows viewing the debug log of a successful MSTP configuration.
Dell#debug spanning-tree mstp bpdu
MSTP debug bpdu is ON
