Task Remarks
Configuring an MST Region
Optional

mappings.
By default, the MST region-related parameters adopt the default
values, and all VLANs in an MST region are mapped to MSTI 0.

By default, MSTP is enabled on a port, and all MSTP parameters
adopt the default values.
Displaying MSTP
Information of a Port
Optional
Display MSTP information of a port in MSTI 0, the MSTI to which the
port belongs, and the path cost and priority of the port.
