MST Configuration Table
The following screens in the
MST Configuration Table
window allow the user to configure a MSTI instance on the Switch.
These settings will uniquely identify a multiple spanning tree instance set on the Switch. The Switch initially possesses one
CIST
or Common Internal Spanning Tree of which the user may modify the parameters for but cannot change the MSTI ID for, and
cannot be deleted. To view the
Current MST Configuration Identification
window, click
Configuration > Spanning Tree >
MST Configuration Table:
Figure 6- 23. Current MST Configuration Identification window
The window above contains the following information:
Parameter Description
Configuration Name
A previously configured name set on the Switch to uniquely identify the MSTI (Multiple
Spanning Tree Instance). If a configuration name is not set, this field will show the MAC
address to the device running MSTP. This field can be set in the STP Bridge Global Settings
window.
Revision Level
This value, along with the Configuration Name will identify the MSTP region configured on
the Switch. This field can also be set in the STP Bridge Global Settings window.
MSTI ID
This field shows the MSTI IDs currently set on the Switch. This field will always have the
CIST MSTI, which may be configured but not deleted. Clicking the hyperlinked name will
open a new window for configuring parameters associated with that particular MSTI.
VID List
This field displays the VLAN IDs associated with the specific MSTI.
Clicking the
