1. From the Main Menu, type 3 to select Spanning Tree Configuration.
The Spanning Tree Configuration menu is shown in Figure 178 on
page 535.
2. From the Spanning Tree Configuration menu, type 3 to select
Configure Active Protocol.
The MSTP menu is shown in Figure 195 on page 569.

The CIST menu is shown in Figure 196.
Figure 196. CIST Menu
The CIST Priority field in the menu displays the current value for this
MSTP parameter. This number is used in determining the root bridge
of the network spanning tree. This number is analogous to the RSTP
bridge priority value. The bridge in the network with the lowest priority
number is selected as the root bridge. If two or more bridges have the
same bridge or CIST priority values, the bridge with the numerically
lowest MAC address becomes the root bridge.
The Associated VLANs field displays the VIDs of the VLANs that are
currently associated with CIST and have not been assigned to a MSTI.
4. From the CIST menu, type 1 to select Modify CIST Priority.
The following prompt is displayed:
