Chapter 7 Configuring Spanning Tree
To configure the port instance priority for a port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Configure the port instance priority on a MISTP
instance.
This example shows how to change the port instance priority on a port and verify the configuration:
Console> (enable) set spantree portinstancepri 2/12 10 2
Port 2/12 instances 2 using portpri 10.
Port 2/12 mistp-instance 1,3-16 using portpri 40.
Console> (enable)

Enabling a MISTP Instance

You can enable up to 16 MISTP instances. Each MISTP instance defines a unique spanning tree
topology. MISTP instance 1, the default instance, is enabled by default; however, you must map a VLAN
to it in order for it to be active. You can enable a single MISTP instance, a range of instances, or all
instances at once using the all keyword.
Note The software does not display the status of a MISTP instance until it has a VLAN with an active port
mapped to it.
To enable a MISTP instance, perform this task in privileged mode:

Step 1
