Figure 89: MSTP Properties Page The MSTP Properties Page contains the following fields:  Region Name - Indicates the name of the user- defined STP region.  Revision - Indicates that an unsigned 16-bit number that identifies the revision of the current MSTP configuration. The revision number is required as part of the MSTP configuration. The possible range is 0-65535.  Max Hops - Specifies the total number of hops that occur in a specific region before the BPDU is discarded. Once the BPDU is discarded, the port information is aged out. The possible field range is 1-40. The default value is 20 hops.  IST Master - Identifies the Spanning Tree Master instance. The IST Master is the specified instance root. 2. Define the Region Name, Revision and Max Hops fields. 3. Click . The device information is updated. 9.3.2 Configuring MSTP Instances MSTP maps VLANs into STP instances. Packets assigned to various VLANs are transmitted along different paths within Multiple Spanning Tree Regions (MST Regions). Regions are one or more Multiple Spanning Tree bridges by which frames can be transmitted. In configuring MSTP, the MST region to which the device belongs is defined. A configuration consists of the name, revision, and region to which the device belongs. Network administrators can define the MSTP instance settings using the MSTP Instance Settings Page. To define instance settings for MSTP: 1. Click System > Bridging Config > Spanning Tree > MSTP > Instance Settings. The MSTP Instance Settings Page opens: Figure 90: MSTP Instance Settings Page The MSTP Instance Settings Page page contains the following fields:  Instance ID - Specifies the VLAN group to which the interface is assigned.  Included VLAN - Maps the selected VLANs to the selected instance. Each VLAN belongs to one instance.  Bridge Priority - Specifies the selected spanning tree instance device priority. The field range is 0-61440  Designated Root Bridge ID - Indicates the ID of the bridge with the lowest path cost to the instance ID.  Root Port - Indicates the selected instance's root port.  Root Path Cost - Indicates the selected instance's path cost.  Bridge ID - Indicates the bridge ID of the selected instance.  Remaining Hops - Indicates the number of hops remaining to the next destination. 2.

The

MSTP Properties Page

contains the following ﬁelds:

Region Name

— Indicates the name of the user-

deﬁned STP region.

Revision

— Indicates that an unsigned 16-bit number

that identifies the revision of the current MSTP

conﬁguration. The revision number is required as part

of the MSTP conﬁguration.

The possible range is 0-65535.

Max Hops

— Speciﬁes the total number of hops that occur in a speciﬁc region before the BPDU is discarded. Once the

BPDU is discarded, the port information is aged out. The possible ﬁeld range is 1-40. The default value is 20 hops.

IST Master

— Identiﬁes the Spanning Tree Master instance. The IST Master is the speciﬁed instance root.

9.3.2

Conﬁguring MSTP Instances

MSTP maps VLANs into STP instances. Packets assigned to various VLANs are transmitted along different paths within

Multiple Spanning Tree Regions (MST Regions). Regions are one or more Multiple Spanning Tree bridges by which frames

can be transmitted. In configuring MSTP, the MST region to which the device belongs is defined. A configuration consists of

the name, revision, and region to which the device belongs.

Network administrators can deﬁne the MSTP instance settings using the

MSTP Instance Settings Page

To deﬁne instance settings for MSTP:

Click

System > Bridging Conﬁg > Spanning Tree > MSTP > Instance Settings.

The

MSTP Instance Settings Page

opens:

Figure 90: MSTP Instance Settings Page

The

MSTP Instance Settings Page

page contains the

following ﬁelds:

Instance ID

— Speciﬁes the VLAN group to which the

interface is assigned.

Included VLAN

— Maps the selected VLANs to

the selected instance. Each VLAN belongs to one

instance.

Bridge Priority

— Specifies the selected spanning

tree instance device priority. The ﬁeld range is 0-61440

Designated Root Bridge ID

— Indicates the ID of the

bridge with the lowest path cost to the instance ID.

Root Port

— Indicates the selected instance’s root port.

Root Path Cost

— Indicates the selected instance’s path cost.

Bridge ID

— Indicates the bridge ID of the selected instance.

Remaining Hops

— Indicates the number of hops remaining to the next destination.
