MSTP Port Configuration

1.Port: Click on the “Port” drop-down menu to choose port from the “Port” drop-down list.

2.Priority (Granularity 16): Click in the “Priority” text box to set the port priority for a bridge group. The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol uses port priority as a tiebreaker to determine which port should forward frames for a particular instance on a LAN, or which port should be the root port for an instance. A lower value implies a better priority. In the case of the same priority, the inter- face index will serve as the tiebreaker, with the lower-numbered interface being preferred over others. The permitted range is 0–240. The priority values can only be set in increments of 16.

3.Admin. Path Cost: Click in the “Admin. Path Cost” text box to set the cost of a path associated with an interface.

4.Update setting: Click on the “Update setting” button when you finish MSTP Port Setting.
