The user may configure the following parameters for a MSTI on the Switch.
Parameter Description
MSTI ID Displays the MSTI ID previously set by the user.
Type This field allows the user to choose a desired method for altering the MSTI settings.
The user has two choices.
Add VID - Select this parameter to add VIDs to the MSTI ID, in conjunction with
the VID List parameter.
Remove VID - Select this parameter to remove VIDs from the MSTI ID, in con-
junction with the VID List parameter.
VID List (1-4094) This field is used to specify the VID range from configured VLANs set on the Switch
that the user wishes to add to this MSTI ID. Supported VIDs on the Switch range from
ID number 1 to 4094. This parameter can only be utilized if the Type chosen is Add or
Remove.
Click Apply to implement changes made.
MSTI Settings This window displays the current MSTI configuration settings and can be used to update the port configuration for an MSTI
ID. If a loop occurs, the MSTP function will use the port priority to select an interface to put into the forwarding state. Set a
higher priority value for interfaces to be selected for forwarding first. In instances where the priority value is identical, the
MSTP function will implement the lowest port number into the forwarding state and other interfaces will be blocked.
Remember that lower priority values mean higher priorities for forwarding packets.
