MSTP Port Information

This window displays the current MSTP Port Information and can be used to update the port configuration for an MSTI
ID. If a loop occurs, the MSTP function will use the port priority to select an interface to put into the forwarding state.
Set a higher priority value for interfaces to be selected for forwarding first. In instances where the priority value is
identical, the MSTP function will implement the lowest MAC address into the forwarding state and other interfaces will
be blocked. Remember that lower priority values mean higher priorities for forwarding packets.

Description
Use the drop-down menu to select a port.
Displays the MSTI ID of the instance being configured. An entry of 0 in this field denotes the
CIST (default MSTI).
This parameter is set to represent the relative cost of forwarding packets to specified ports
when an interface is selected within a STP instance. A lower Internal cost represents a quicker
transmission.
Select a value between 0 and 240 to set the priority for the port interface. A higher priority will
designate the interface to forward packets first. A lower number denotes a higher priority.
