Figure 52 MSTP Network Example A VLAN 1 VLAN 2 Chapter 11 Spanning Tree Protocol B 11.1.5.2 MST Region An MST region is a logical grouping of multiple network devices that appears as a single device to the rest of the network. Each MSTP-enabled device can only belong to one MST region. When BPDUs enter an MST region, external path cost (of paths outside this region) is increased by one. Internal path cost (of paths within this region) is increased by one when BPDUs traverse the region. Devices that belong to the same MST region are configured to have the same MSTP configuration identification settings. These include the following parameters: • Name of the MST region • Revision level as the unique number for the MST region • VLAN-to-MST Instance mapping 11.1.5.3 MST Instance An MST Instance (MSTI) is a spanning tree instance.

MSTP Network Example

11.1.5.2

MST Region

An MST region is a logical grouping of multiple network devices that appears as a single

device to the rest of the network. Each MSTP-enabled device can only belong to one MST

region. When BPDUs enter an MST region, external path cost (of paths outside this region) is

increased by one. Internal path cost (of paths within this region) is increased by one when

BPDUs traverse the region.

Devices that belong to the same MST region are configured to have the same MSTP

configuration identification settings. These include the following parameters:

•

Name of the MST region

•

Revision level as the unique number for the MST region

•

VLAN-to-MST Instance mapping

11.1.5.3

MST Instance

An MST Instance (MSTI) is a spanning tree instance. VLANs can be configured to run on a

specific MSTI. Each created MSTI is identified by a unique number (known as an MST ID)

known internally to a region. Thus an MSTI does not span across MST regions.

The following figure shows an example where there are two MST regions. Regions 1 and 2

have 2 spanning tree instances.

VLAN 1

VLAN 2
