To configure the switch for MSTP support, configure the region name and the revision on each
switch being configured. This region name is unique to each region. Then create one or more
instances and assign IDs. VLANs are then assigned to instances. These instances must be
configured on switches that interoperate with the same VLAN assignments. Port cost, priority and
global parameters can then be configured for individual ports and instances.
