Neighbor Topology Discovery Protocol (NTDP) packets sent by devices in a cluster can only be
transmitted within the MSTI where the management VLAN of the cluster resides. For more information
about clusters and the NTDP protocol, see

.
Configuring MST region-related parameters (especially the VLAN-to-instance 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
