I. MST region
A multiple
physically-interconnected MSTP-enabled switches and the corresponding network
segments connected to these switches. These switches have the same region name,
the same VLAN-to-MSTI mapping configuration and the same MSTP revision level.
A switched network can contain multiple MST regions. You can group multiple switches
into one MST region by using the corresponding MSTP configuration commands.
As shown in
region-related configuration, including:
Region name
VLAN-to-MSTI mapping (that is, VLAN 1 is mapped to MSTI 1, VLAN 2 is mapped
to MSTI 2, and the other VLANs are mapped to CIST.)

II. MSTI
A multiple spanning tree instance (MSTI) refers to a spanning tree in an MST region.
Multiple spanning trees can be established in one MST region. These spanning trees
are independent of each other. For example, each region in
multiple spanning trees known as MSTIs. Each of these spanning trees corresponds to
a VLAN.
