Defining MSTP Instance Settings
MSTP maps VLANs into STP instances. Packets assigned to various VLANs are transmitted along different paths
within Multiple Spanning Tree Regions (MST Regions). Regions are one or more Multiple Spanning Tree bridges
by which frames can be transmitted. In configuring MSTP, the MST region to which the device belongs is defined.
A configuration consists of the name, revision, and region to which the device belongs.
Network administrators can define the MSTP instance settings using the MSTP Instance Settings Page
.
