JetStream  52-Port Gigabit Stackable L3 Managed Switch  CLI Guide 
 
Example 
Enable the MST Instance 1 and configure its priority as 4096: 
T3700G-52TQ(config)#spanning-tree mst instance 1 priority 4096 
30.10  spanning-tree mst 
Description 
The spanning-tree mst command is used to configure MST Instance Port. To 
return to the default configuration of the corresponding Instance Port, please 
use  no  spanning-tree mst command. A port can play different roles in 
different spanning tree instance. You can use this command to configure the 
parameters of the ports in different instance IDs as well as view status of the 
ports in the specified instance.

Parameter 
instance-id
 —— Instance ID, ranging from 1 to 8. 
priority
 —— Port Priority, which must be multiple of 16 ranging from 0 to 240. 
By default, it is 128. Port Priority is an important criterion on determining if the 
port will be chosen as the root port by the device connected to this port. 
cost
  ——  Path Cost, ranging  from 0 to 2000000. The lower value has the 
higher priority. Its default value is 0 meaning “auto”. 
Command Mode 
Interface Configuration Mode (interface fastEthernet / interface range 
fastEthernet / interface gigabitEthernet / interface range gigabitEthernet / 
interface ten-gigabitEthernet / interface range ten-gigabitEthernet / interface 
port-channel) 
Example 
Configure the priority of Gigabit Ethernet port 1/0/1 in MST Instance 1 as 64, 
and path cost as 2000: 
T3700G-52TQ(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/1 
T3700G-52TQ(config-if)#spanning-tree mst instance 1  port-priority  64 
cost 2000
