MSTP Properties
1. STP Version: Click on the “STP Version” drop-down menu to choose “MSTP”
from “STP Version” drop-down list.
2. Region Name: Click in the “Region Name” text box to create an MST region
and specify a name to it. MST bridges of a region form different spanning trees
for different VLANs. By default, each MST bridge starts with the region name
as its bridge address. This means each MST bridge is a region by itself, unless
specifically added to one.
3. Revision Level: Click in “Revision Level” text box to specify the number for
configuration information. The default value of the revision number is 0.
4. Max Hops: Click in the “Max Hops” text box to specify the maximum allowed
hops for BPDU in an MST region. This parameter is used by all the instances of
the MST. Specifying the max hops for a BPDU prevents the messages from
looping indefinetely in the network. When a bridge receives a MST BPDU that
has exceeded the allowed max-hops, it discards the BPDU.
5. Update setting: Click on the “Update setting” button when you finished MSTP
Properties setting.
