z Designated Port: Indicates the port that forwards packets to a downstream network segment or switch.
z Master Port: Indicates the port that connects a MST region to the common root. The path from the master port to the common root is the shortest path between this MST region and the common root.
| z Alternate Port: Indicates the port that can be a backup port of a |
| root or master port. |
| z Backup Port: Indicates the port that is the backup port of a |
| designated port. |
| z Disabled: Indicates the port that is not participating in the STP. |
Port Status: | Displays the working status of the port. |
| z Forwarding: In this status the port can receive/forward data, |
| receive/send BPDU packets as well as learn MAC address. |
| z Learning: In this status the port can receive/send BPDU packets |
| and learn MAC address. |

1.Configure the ports connected directly to terminals as edge ports and enable the BPDU protection function as well. This not only enables these ports to transit to forwarding state rapidly but also secures your network.
2.All the links of ports in a LAG can be configured as
3.When the link of a port is configured as a
7.3 MSTP Instance
MSTP combines VLANs and spanning tree together via
Only when the switches have the same MST region name, MST region revision and
The MSTP Instance function can be implemented on Region Config, Instance Config and Instance Port Config pages.
