Section IV: Spanning Tree Protocols

335

Table 9 lists the MSTP port costs with Auto Update when the port is
part of a port trunk.

MSTI List
The MSTIs defined on the switch. You can use this list when setting the
port priority and port internal path cost parameters to assign different
values to a port for each MSTI when the port is a member. Before
setting priority or internal path cost, select the appropriate MSTI where
you want the new setting to be applied on the port. The default is all
MSTIs on the switch.

The MSTI List shows all of the spanning tree instances on the switch,
and not just those where the selected port is currently a member. If you
select an MSTI where the port is not a member, you can pre-configure
the parameter in the event you later add the port as a member of the
MSTI through a VLAN assignment.

Point-to-Point
This parameter defines whether the port is functioning as a point-to-
point port. The possible settings are Yes, No, and Auto-Detect. For an
explanation of this parameter, refer to “Point-to-Point and Edge Ports”
in Chapter 23, “Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocols” in
the AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.

Port External Path Cost
The port cost of the port if the port is connected to a bridge which is a
member of another MSTP region or is running STP or RSTP. The
range is 0 to 200,000,000. Table 10 lists the MSTP port costs with the
Auto setting when the port is not a member of a trunk.
