For those VLANs that are not explicitly mapped to one of the MST instances, the device 
automatically maps them to the CIST (Core and Internal Spanning Tree) instance. The CIST 
instance is MST instance 0.

To map VLANs to MST Instances: 

STEP 1

Click 

Spanning Tree

 > 

VLAN to MSTP Instance

.

The VLAN to MSTP Instance page contains the following fields: 

•

MSTP Instance ID

—All MST instances are displayed.

•

VLANs

—All VLANs belonging to the MST instance are displayed.

STEP  2

To add a VLAN to an MSTP instance, select the MST instance, and click 

Edit

.

STEP  3

Enter the parameters:

•

MSTP Instance ID

—Select the MST instance.

•

VLANs

—Define the VLANs being mapped to this MST instance.

•

Action

—Define whether to 

Add

 (map) the VLAN to the MST instance or 

Remove

 it.

STEP  4

Click 

Apply

. The MSTP VLAN mappings are defined, and the Running Configuration file is 

updated.

MSTP Instance Settings

The MSTP Instance Settings page

 

enables

 

you to configure and view parameters per MST 

instance. This is the per-instance equivalent to the 

Configuring STP Status and Global 

Settings

. 

To enter MSTP instance settings:

STEP 1

Click 

Spanning Tree

 > 

MSTP

 

Instance Settings

.

STEP  2

Enter the parameters.

•

Instance ID

—Select an MST instance to be displayed and defined.

•

Included VLAN

—Displays the VLANs mapped to the selected instance. The default 

mapping is that all VLANs are mapped to the common and internal spanning tree 
(CIST) instance 0).
