MSTP Port Information
This window displays the current MSTP Port Information and can be used to update the port configuration for an MSTI ID.
If a loop occurs, the MSTP function will use the port priority to select an interface to put into the forwarding state. Set a
higher priority value for interfaces to be selected for forwarding first. In instances where the priority value is identical, the
MSTP function will implement the lowest MAC address into the forwarding state and other interfaces will be blocked.
Remember that lower priority values mean higher priorities for forwarding packets. To view the following window, click

. To modify the settings for a particular MSTI Instance, click on its hyperlinked MSTI ID, which will reveal
the following window.

Parameter
Description
Instance ID
Displays the MSTI ID of the instance being configured. An entry of 0 in this
field denotes the CIST (default MSTI).
Internal cost (0=Auto)
This parameter is set to represent the relative cost of forwarding packets to
specified ports when an interface is selected within a STP instance. The
default setting is 0 (auto). There are two options:
0 (auto)
- Selecting this parameter for the
internalCost
will set quickest route
automatically and optimally for an interface. The default value is derived from
the media speed of the interface.
value 1-200000000
- Selecting this parameter with a value in the range of 1-
200000000 will set the quickest route when a loop occurs. A lower Internal
cost represents a quicker transmission.
Priority
Enter a value between
0
and
240
to set the priority for the port interface. A
higher priority will designate the interface to forward packets first. A lower
number denotes a higher priority.
Click
Apply
to implement changes made.
