Configure switch C: 
Step  Operation  Description 
1 Configure ports  On VLAN→802.1Q VLAN page, configure the link 
type of the related ports as Trunk, and add the ports to 
VLAN101-VLAN106. The detailed instructions can be 
found in the section 802.1Q VLAN
. 
2 Enable STP function  On Spanning Tree→STP Config→STP Config page, 
enable STP function and select MSTP version. 
On  Spanning Tree→STP Config→Port Config 
page, enable MSTP function for the port. 
3  Configure the region name and 
the revision of MST region 
On  Spanning Tree→MSTP Instance→Region 
Config page, configure the region as TP-LINK and 
keep the default revision setting. 
4 Configure VLAN-to-Instance 
mapping table of the MST 
region 
On  Spanning Tree→MSTP Instance→Instance 
Config page, configure VLAN-to-Instance mapping 
table. Map VLAN101, 103 and 105 to Instance 1; map 
VLAN102, 104 and 106 to Instance 2. 
5  Configure switch C as the root 
bridge of Instance 1 
On  Spanning Tree→MSTP Instance→Instance 
Config page, configure the priority of Instance 1 to be 
4096. 
6  Configure switch C as the root 
bridge of Instance 2 
On  Spanning Tree→MSTP Instance→Instance 
Config page, configure the priority of Instance 2 to be 
0. 
  Configure switch D: 
Step  Operation  Description 
1 Configure ports  On VLAN→802.1Q VLAN page, configure the link 
type of the related ports as Trunk, and add the ports to 
VLAN101-VLAN106. The detailed instructions can be 
found in the section 802.1Q VLAN
. 
2 Enable STP function  On Spanning Tree→STP Config→STP Config page, 
enable STP function and select MSTP version. 
On  Spanning Tree→STP Config→Port Config 
page, enable MSTP function for the port. 
3  Configure the region name and 
the revision of MST region 
On  Spanning Tree→MSTP Instance→Region 
Config page, configure the region as TP-LINK and 
keep the default revision setting. 
4 Configure VLAN-to-Instance 
mapping table of the MST 
region 
On  Spanning Tree→MSTP Instance→Instance 
Config page, configure VLAN-to-Instance mapping 
table. Map VLAN101, 103 and 105 to Instance 1; map 
VLAN102, 104 and 106 to Instance 2. 
  The configuration procedure for switch E and F is the same with that for switch D.   
  The topology diagram of the two instances after the topology is stable   
  For Instance 1 (VLAN101, 103 and 105), the red paths in the following figure are connected
