13.8.1 MSTP Port Configuration

Click Advanced Application > Spanning Tree Protocol > MSTP > Port in the navigation panel

to display the status screen as shown next. See Multiple STP on page 123 for more information on

MSTP.

Active Select this check box to add this port to the MST instance.

Priority Configure the priority for each port here.

Priority decides which port should be disabled when more than one port forms a loop in a

switch. Ports with a higher priority numeric value are disabled first. The allowed range is

between 0 and 255 and the default value is 128.

Path Cost Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame on to a LAN through that port. It is

recommended to assign this value according to the speed of the bridge. The slower the

media, the higher the cost - see Table 46 on page 122 for more information.

Add Click Add to save this MST instance to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses

this change if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation

panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.

Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

Instance This field displays the ID of an MST instance.

VLAN This field displays the VID (or VID ranges) to which the MST instance is mapped.

Active Port This field display the ports configured to participate in the MST instance.

Select an entry’s check box to select a specific entry.

Delete Check the rule(s) that you want to remove and then click the Delete button.

Cancel Click Cancel to clear the selected checkbox(es).
