Defining MSTP Properties

The MSTP Properties Page contains information for defining global MSTP settings, including region
names, MSTP revisions, and maximum hops. To define
1. Click Bridging > Spanning Tree > MSTP > Properties. The MSTP Properties Page opens:
The MSTP Properties Page contains the following fields:
• Region Name — Provides a user-defined STP region name.
• Revision — Defines unsigned 16-bit number that identifies the revision of the current MST
configuration. The revision number is required as part of the MST configuration. The possible field
range 0-65535.
• Max Hops — Indicates the total number of hops that occur in a specific region before the BPDU is
discarded. Once the BPDU is discarded, the port information is aged out. The possible field range is
1-40. The field default is 20 hops.
• IST Master — Identifies the Spanning Tree Master instance. The IST Master is the specified
instance root.
2. Define the relevant fields.
3. Click Apply. The MSTP properties are defined, and the device is updated.
