Configuration Procedure
A lower port priority value indicates a higher port priority. If all the ports of a switch
have the same port priority value, the port priorities are determined by the port
indexes. Changing the priority of a port will cause spanning tree regeneration.
You can configure port priorities according to actual networking requirements.
Configuration example
1 Configure the port priority of GigabitEthernet1/0/1 port in spanning tree instance 1 to
be 16.
Configure in system view.

Refer to "Point-to-point Link-Related Configuration".
Refer to "MSTP Configuration".
As mentioned previously, ports on an MSTP-enabled switch can operate in three
modes: STP, RSTP, and MSTP. A port on an MSTP-enabled switch automatically toggles
to the STP/RSTP mode when an STP-/RSTP-enabled switch is connected to it. But
when the STP-/RSTP-enabled switch is disconnected from the port, the port cannot
automatically toggle back to the MSTP mode and still remains in the STP/RSTP mode.
In this case, you can force the port to toggle to the MSTP mode by performing the
mCheck operation on the port.
MSTP runs normally on the switch.
You can perform the mCheck operation in the following two ways.
