MSTP Port Information
This window displays the current MSTP Port Information 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
