MSTP Port Information
This window displays the current MSTI configuration settings 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 port number into the forwarding state and other interfaces will be
blocked. Remember that lower priority values mean higher priorities for forwarding packets.
