MSTP Instance Settings
MSTP maps VLANs into STP instances. Packets assigned to various VLANs are
transmitted along different paths within MST Regions. Regions are one or more
Multiple Spanning Tree bridges by which frames can be transmitted. In configuring
MSTP, the MST region to which the device belongs is defined. A configuration
consists of the name, revision, and region to which the device belongs.
Network Administrators can define MSTP Instances settings using the
