Configuration Prerequisites

The role (root, branch, or leaf) of each device in each spanning tree instance is determined.

Configuring an MST Region

Configuration procedure

Follow these steps to configure an MST region:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter MST region view

stp region-configuration

Configure the name of the MST
region

region-name name

Required
The default MST region name of a
device is its MAC address.

instance

instance-id vlan vlan-list

Configure the VLAN mapping table
for the MST region

vlan-mapping modulo

modulo

Required
Both commands can be used to
configure VLAN mapping tables.
By default, all VLANs in an MST
region are mapped to spanning
tree instance 0.

Configure the MSTP revision level
for the MST region

revision-level

level

Required
The default revision level of an
MST region is level 0.

Activate the configuration of the
MST region manually

active region-configuration

Required

Display the configuration of the
current MST region

check region-configuration

Optional

Display the currently valid
configuration of the MST region

display stp region-configuration

You can execute this command in
any view.

NTDP packets sent by devices in a cluster can only be transmitted within the instance where the
management VLAN of the cluster resides.

Configuring MST region-related parameters (especially the VLAN mapping table) results in spanning
tree recalculation and network topology jitter. To reduce network topology jitter caused by the
configuration, MSTP does not recalculate spanning trees immediately after the configuration; it does
this only after you perform one of the following operations, and then the configuration can really takes
effect:

z

Activate the new MST region-related settings by using the active region-configuration command

z

Enable MSTP by using the stp enable command
