Defining MSTP Interface Settings The MSTP Interface Settings page contains parameters assigning MSTP settings to specific interfaces. To open the MSTP Interface Settings page, click Switch → Spanning Tree → MSTP Interface Settings in the tree view. Figure 7-44. MSTP Interface Settings The MSTP Interface Settings page contains the following fields: • Instance ID - Lists the MSTP instances configured on the device. Possible field range is 0-15. • Interface - Assigns either ports or LAGs to the selected MSTP instance. • Port State - Indicates whether the port is enabled or disabled in the specific instance. • Type - Indicates whether MSTP treats the port as a point-to-point port, or a port connected to a hub, and whether the port is internal to the MST region or a boundary port. A Master port provides connectivity from a MSTP region to the outlying CIST root. A Boundary port attaches MST bridges to LAN in an outlying region. If the port is a boundary port, it also indicates whether the device on the other side of the link is working in RSTP or STP mode. Configuring Switch Information 347
