MST Configuration
Use the Spanning Tree MST Configuration screen to configure Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) on the switch.
To configure an MST instance:
1.Select Switching > STP > Advanced > MST Configuration.
2.Configure the MST values:
•MST ID. Specify the ID of the MST to create. Valid values for this are between 1 and 4094.
•Priority. Specifies the bridge priority value for the MST. When switches or bridges are running STP, each is assigned a priority. After exchanging BPDUs, the switch with the lowest priority value becomes the root bridge. The bridge priority is a multiple of 4096. If you specify a priority that is not a multiple of 4096, the priority is automatically set to the next lowest priority that is a multiple of 4096. For example, if the priority is attempted to be set to any value between 0 and 4095, it will be set to 0. The default priority is 32768.The valid range is
•VLAN ID. The menu contains all VLANs configured on the switch. Select a VLAN to associate with the MST instance.
