Configuration example
Enable MSTP on the switch and disable MSTP on port Ethernet1/0/1.
1 Configure in system view.
<S5500> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[S5500] stp enable
[S5500] stp interface ethernet1/0/1 disable
2 Configure in Ethernet port view.
<S5500> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[S5500] stp enable
[S5500] interface ethernet1/0/1
[S5500-Ethernet1/0/1] stp disable

With both GVRP and MSTP enabled on switches, GVRP packets will be forwarded
along the CIST. If you want to broadcast packets of a specific VLAN through GVRP, be
sure to map the VLAN to the CIST when configuring the MSTP VLAN mapping table.
The CIST of a network is the spanning tree instance numbered 0.
Before configuration, determine what roles the switches will play in the spanning
trees, that is, whether a switch will be the root, a branch, or a leaf in a spanning tree
Refer to "Configuring an MST Region".
Description
