MSTP Instance Interface
The MSTP Instance Interface page enables you to configure the port MSTP settings for every
MST instance, and to view information that has currently been learned by the protocol, such as
the designated bridge per MST instance.
To configure the ports in an MST instance:
1. Click Configuration > Spanning Tree Management > MSTP Instance Interface.
2. Enter the parameters.
•
MSTP Instance—Select the MSTP instance to be configured.
•
Interface Type—Select whether to display the list of ports or LAGs.
3. Click Search. The following MSTP parameters for the interfaces on the instance are
displayed:
•
Interface—Select the interface for which the MSTI settings are to be defined.
•
Interface Priority—Set the port priority for the specified interface and MST
instance.
•
Path Cost—Enter the port contribution to the root path cost in the User Defined
textbox or select Use Default to use the default value.
•
Port State—Displays the MSTP status of the specific port on a specific MST
instance. The parameters are defined as:
o
Disabled—STP is currently disabled.
o
Blocking—The port on this instance is currently blocked, and cannot
forward traffic (with the exception of BPDU data) or learn MAC addresses.
o
