• Instance ID — Defines the VLAN group to which the interface is assigned. Possible field range is 0-15.
• Interface — Assigns either ports or LAGs to the selected MSTP instance.
• Port State — Indicates whether the port is enabled or disabled in the specific instance.
• Type — Indicates whether MSTP treats the port as a point-to-point port, or a port connected to a hub,
and whether the port is internal to the MSTP region or a boundary port. If the port is a boundary port,
it also indicates whether the device on the other side of the link is working in RSTP or STP mode.
