MST Configuration Identification

The following windows in the MST Configuration Identification section allow the user to configure a MSTI instance on the

Switch. These settings will uniquely identify a multiple spanning tree instance set on the Switch. The Switch initially possesses

one CIST or Common Internal Spanning Tree of which the user may modify the parameters for but cannot change the MSTI ID

for, and cannot be deleted. To view the MST Configuration Identification window, click L2 Features > Spanning Tree > MST

Configuration Identification.
