DESCRIPTION

 

Port ID

This is the priority and number of the port on the Switch through which this Switch must

 

 

communicate with the root of the Spanning Tree.

 

 

 

 

Configuration

This field displays the configuration name for this MST region.

 

Name

 

 

 

 

 

Revision Number

This field displays the revision number for this MST region.

 

 

 

 

Configuration

A configuration digest is generated from the VLAN-MSTI mapping information.

 

Digest

This field displays the 16-octet signature that is included in an MSTP BPDU. This field

 

 

 

 

displays the digest when MSTP is activated on the system.

 

 

 

 

Topology Changed

MSTISelect the MST instance settings you want to view.

 

 

 

 

Bridge

Root refers to the base of the MST instance. Our Bridge is this Switch. This Switch may

 

 

also be the root bridge.

 

 

 

 

Bridge ID

This is the unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of bridge priority plus MAC address.

 

 

This ID is the same for Root and Our Bridge if the Switch is the root switch.

 

 

 

 

Internal Cost

This is the path cost from the root port in this MST instance to the regional root switch.
