MSTP Overview MSTP maps VLANs into STP instances, using various load balancing scenarios. As a result of this partitioning into instances, if port A is blocked in one STP instance, the same port can be placed in the Forwarding State in another STP instance. In addition, packets assigned to various VLANs are transmitted along different paths within Multiple Spanning Trees Regions (MST Regions). Regions are one or more Multiple Spanning Tree bridges by which frames can be transmitted. MSTP Properties To set an MSTP region: 1 Click Switching > Spanning Tree > MSTP Settings in the tree view to display the MSTP Properties: Summary page. Figure 13-5.
