Command History
Usage Guidelines
The VLAN identifier is entered as a single value or a range.
The mapping is incremental, not absolute. When you enter a range of VLANs, this range is added to or
removed from the existing instances.
Any unmapped VLAN is mapped to the CIST instance.
Caution
When you change the VLAN-to-MSTI mapping, the system restarts MST.
Examples
This example shows how to map a range of VLANs to MSTI 4:
switch(config)#
spanning-tree mst configuration
switch(config-mst)#
instance 4 vlan 100-200
instance-id
Instances to which the specified VLANs are mapped. The range is from 0 to
4094.
vlan
vlan-id
Specifies the number of the VLANs that you are mapping to the specified
MSTI. The VLAN ID range is from 1 to 4094.
