In a network containing switches with both GVRP and MSTP enabled, GVRP messages travel along 
the CIST. If you want to advertise a VLAN through GVRP, be sure to map the VLAN to the CIST (MSTI 
0) when configuring the VLAN-to-MSTI mapping table.  
 
Configuration Prerequisites 
The role (root, branch, or leaf) of each switch in each MSTI is determined.

By default, all VLANs in an MST 
region are mapped to MSTI 0.

NTDP packets sent by devices in a cluster can only be transmitted within the MSTI where the 
management VLAN of the cluster resides. 
 
Configuring MST region-related parameters (especially the VLAN-to-MSTI mapping table) results in 
spanning tree recalculation and network topology jitter. To reduce network topology jitter caused by the
