Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation
Troubleshooting an MSTP Configuration
â–  MST Instance (mst): Connects all static and (starting from release 13.x.x)
dynamic VLANs assigned to a multiple spanning-tree instance.
Use the show spanning-tree root-history command to view the number and dates
of changes in the assignment of a root bridge. Possible intrusion into your MST
network may occur if an unauthorized external device gains access to a
spanning tree by posing as the root device in a topology. To prevent an MST
port connected to the device from being selected as the root port in a topology,
use the spanning-tree root-guard command.
The following examples show sample output of the show spanning-tree root-
history command for different MSTP topologies. Note that in each example,
the root bridge ID is displayed in the format:
<priority:mac-address>
Where:
â–  <priority> is the MSTP switch priority calculated for one of the following:
• The IST (regional) root switch using the spanning-tree priority
command
• An MSTI root switch using the spanning-tree instance priority
command
â–  <mac-address> is the MAC address of the root (bridge) switch.
Syntax: show spanning-tree root-history <cst | ist | mst <instance-id>>
This command displays the change history for the root bridge
in the specified MSTP topology.
The cst parameter displays the change history for the root
bridge of a spanning-tree network, including MST regions and
STP and RSTP bridges.
The ist parameter displays the change history for the root
bridge in the IST instance of an MST region.
The mst <instance-id> parameter displays the change history
for the root bridge in an MST instance, where <instance-id>
is an ID number from 1 to 16.
