Chapter 21: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
236 Section V: Spanning Tree Protocols
Figure 28 illustrates the concept of regions. It shows one MSTP region consisting of two AT-9400 Switches. Each switch in the region has the same configuration name and revision level. The switches also have the same five VLANs and the VLANs are associated with the same MSTIs. Figure 28. Multiple Spanning Tree RegionThe AT-9400 Switch determines regional boundaries by examining the MSTP BPDUs received on the ports. A port that receives a MSTP BPDU from another bridge with regional information different from its own is considered to be a boundary port and the bridge connected to the port as belonging to another region.
