Region Name 2. Region Version 3. VLAN to Instance mapping The show spanning-tree mst commands will show various portions of the MSTP configuration. To view the overall MSTP configuration on the router, use the show running-configuration spanning-tree mstp in the EXEC Privilege mode (output sample shown in Figure 31-15). Use the debug spanning-tree mstp bpdu command to monitor and verify that the MSTP configuration is connected and communicating as desired (output sample shown in Figure 31-16). Key items to look for in the debug report: • MSTP flags indicate communication received from the same region. • In Figure 31-16, the output shows that the MSTP routers are located in the same region. • Does the debug log indicate that packets are coming from a "Different Region" (Figure 31-17)? If so, one of the key parameters is not matching. • MSTP Region Name and Revision • The configured name and revisions must be identical among all the routers. • Is the Region name blank? That may mean that a name was configured on one router and but was not configured or was configured differently on another router (spelling and capitalization counts). • MSTP Instances. • Use the show commands to verify the VLAN to MSTP Instance mapping. • Are there "extra" MSTP Instances in the Sending or Received logs? That may mean that an additional MSTP Instance was configured on one router but not the others. Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) | 673

Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)

673

Figure 31-14.

Displaying BPDUs and Events

Examine your individual routers to ensure all the necessary parameters match.

Region Name

Region Version

VLAN to Instance mapping

The

show spanning-tree

mst

commands will show various portions of the MSTP configuration. To view the

overall MSTP configuration on the router, use the

show running-configuration spanning-tree mstp

in the EXEC

Privilege mode (output sample shown in

Figure 31-15

Use the

debug spanning-tree mstp bpdu

command to monitor and verify that the MSTP configuration is

connected and communicating as desired (output sample shown in

Figure 31-16

Key items to look for in the debug report:

•

MSTP flags indicate communication received from the same region.

•

Figure 31-16

, the output shows that the MSTP routers are located in the same region.

•

Does the debug log indicate that packets are coming from a “Different Region” (

Figure 31-17

)? If

so, one of the key parameters is not matching.

•

MSTP Region Name and Revision

•

The configured name and revisions

must

be identical among all the routers.

•

Is the Region name blank? That may mean that a name was configured on one router and but was

not configured or was configured differently on another router (spelling and capitalization counts).

•

MSTP Instances.

•

Use the show commands to verify the VLAN to MSTP Instance mapping.

•

Are there “extra” MSTP Instances in the Sending or Received logs? That may mean that an

additional MSTP Instance was configured on one router but not the others.
