MSTP Port Configuration - 81

Configuration Using the Web Interface

MSTP Port Configuration

This page allows you to configure the port settings. Choose the Instance ID that you want to configure.

Current MST Instance Configuration

Instance ID

A value used to identify the MST instance. Instance 0 (CIST, Common Internal
Spanning Tree) is a special instance of spanning-tree known as IST or Internal
Spanning Tree (=MSTI00).

VLAN Group

Provide a VLAN group to map this MST instance. Use the VLAN number, for
example: 10. You can set a range, for example: 1-10) or set specific VLANs, for
example: 2,4,6,4-7.

Instance Priority

A value used to identify the MST instance. The MST instance with the lowest value
has the highest priority and is selected as the root. Enter a number 0 through 61440
in increments of 4096.

Modify

Click the Modify button to apply the current MST instance configuration.

Note: You must Save the settings (

if the ES8509-XT is powered off.

MSTP Port Configuration Page

Instance ID

Select an Instance ID to display and modify MSTP instance setting.

Port Configuration

Path Cost

The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the
specified port. Enter a number from 1 through 200000000.

Priority

Decide which port should be blocked by priority on your LAN. Enter a number
from 0 through 240 in increments of 16.

Link Type

Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible within RSTP are
dependent upon whether the port in question is connected to exactly one other
bridge (that is, it is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or if it's
connected to two or more bridges (that is, it is served by a shared medium
LAN segment). This configuration allows the p2p status of the link to be
controlled by an administrator.
