Defining MSTP Properties
The MSTP Properties Page contains information for defining global MSTP settings, including region
names, MSTP revisions, and maximum hops. To define
MSTP:
1. Click Bridging > Spanning Tree > MSTP > Properties. The MSTP Properties Page opens:
MSTP Properties Page
The MSTP Properties Page contains the following fields:
• Region Name — Provides a user-defined STP region name.
• Revision — Defines unsigned 16-bit number that identifies the revision of the current MST
configuration. The revision number is required as part of the MST configuration. The possible field
range 0-65535.
• Max Hops — Indicates the total number of hops that occur in a specific region before the BPDU is
discarded. Once the BPDU is discarded, the port information is aged out. The possible field range is
1-40. The field default is 20 hops.
• IST Master — Identifies the Spanning Tree Master instance. The IST Master is the specified
instance root.
2. Define the relevant fields.
