RSTP does not depend on the forward delay timer in most cases. It is
able to confirm that a port can transition to the forwarding state
without having to rely on any timer configuration. To achieve fast
convergence, RSTP relies on the use of edge ports, and automatic
detection of point-to-point link types, both of which allow a port to
directly transition to the forwarding state.
Configuration Settings for MSTP
◆ Max Instance Numbers – The maximum number of MSTP instances
to which this switch can be assigned.
Configuration Digest – An MD5 signature key that contains the VLAN
◆
ID to MST ID mapping table. In other words, this key is a mapping of all
VLANs to the CIST.

◆ 3
Default: 0)
◆ Region Name 3 – The name for this MSTI. (Maximum length: 32
