Acknowledge
Indicates whether the next BPDU to be transmitted for this port will
have the topology change acknowledgment flag set.

the interface does not transmit frames.
LoopInconsistent
State
The number of times this interface has transitioned into loop
inconsistent state.
LoopInconsistent
State
The number of times this interface has transitioned out of loop
inconsistent state.
MST Configuration
Use the MST Configuration page to view and configure the Multiple Spanning Tree Instances
(MSTIs) on the device. Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) allows the creation of MSTIs
based upon a VLAN or groups of VLANs. Configuring MSTIs creates an active topology with a
better distribution of network traffic and an increase in available bandwidth when compared
to classic STP.
1. In the Spanning Tree screen, click the MST tab.
The Spanning Tree MST screen opens.
