Table2-2 Configure the MST region for a switch 
Operation  Command 
Configure MST region name  region-name name 
Restore the default MST region name  undo region-name 
Configure VLAN mapping table  instance instance-id vlan vlan-list 
Restore the default VLAN mapping table  undo instance 
Configure the MSTP revision level of MST region  revision-level level 
Restore the MSTP revision level of MST region  undo revision-level 
 
An MST region can contain up to 17 spanning tree instances, among which the 
Instance 0 is IST and the Instances 1 through 16 are MSTIs. Upon the completion of the 
above configurations, the current switch is put into a specified MST region. Note that 
two switches belong to the same MST region only if they have been configured with the 
same MST region name, STI-VLAN mapping tables of an MST region, and the MST 
region revision level.  
Configuring the related parameters, especially the VLAN mapping table, of the MST 
region, will lead to the recalculation of spanning tree and network topology flapping. To 
bate such flapping, MSTP triggers to recalculate the spanning tree according to the 
configurations only if one of the following conditions is met: 
z  The user manually activates the configured parameters related to the MST region, 
using the active region-configuration command. 
z  The user enables MSTP, using the stp enable command. 
By default, the MST region name is the first switch MAC address, all the VLANs in the 
MST region are mapped to the STI 0, and the MSTP region revision level is 0. You can 
restore the default settings of MST region, using the undo stp region-configuration 
command in system view.  
III. Activate the MST Region Configuration,and exit the MST Region View 
Perform the following configuration in MST region view.

Manually activate the MST region configuration (from MST 
region view)
