Spanning Tree Commands
733
All VLANs that are not explicitly mapped to an MST instance are mapped to
the common and internal spanning tree (CIST) instance (instance 0) and
cannot be unmapped from the CIST.
For two or more switches to be in the same MST region, they must have the
same VLAN mapping, the same configuration revision number, and the same
name.
PowerConnect MSTP supports mapping of VLANs to MST instances, even
though the underlying VLAN may not be defined on the switch. Traffic
received on VLANs not defined on the port received is dropped.
Example
The following example maps the entire range of VLANs to MST instances
(MST instance 0 is mapped to VLAN 1 by default). Additionally, two 10G
ports have some, but not all, of the VLANs mapped to MST instances.
