level, and a VLAN to MST instance association table) that defines an MST region as required by the IEEE

MST region. Currently each switch can belong to one MST region at a time.

the name contains multiple words with spaces between them (e.g.

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to remove the MST region name. Note that it is not necessary to
specify the region name to remove it.
•
To change an existing region name, use this same command but specify a string value that is different
than the existing name. It is
not necessary to first remove the old name.
•
Specifying an MST region name is allowed regardless of which Spanning Tree operating mode or
protocol is currently active on the switch. However, MST configuration values, such as region name,
only apply when the switch is operating in the flat Spanning Tree mode and using MSTP.
