4.1.8.5 Spanning Tree - MSTI Ports
This page allows the user to inspect the current STP MSTI port configurations,
and possibly change them as well.
An MSTI port is a virtual port, which is instantiated separately for each active
CIST (physical) port for each MSTI instance configured on and applicable to the
port. The MSTI instance must be selected before displaying actual MSTI port
configuration options.
This page contains MSTI port settings for physical and aggregated ports. The
aggregation settings are stack global.
Apart from the selected MSTI, the STP MSTI port settings also relate to the
currently selected stack unit, as reflected by the page header.
Port
The switch port number of the corresponding STP CIST (and MSTI) port.
Path Cost
Controls the path cost incurred by the port. The Auto setting will set the path cost
as appropriate by the physical link speed, using the 802.1D recommended values.
Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. The path cost is
used when establishing the active topology of the network. Lower path cost ports
are chosen as forwarding ports in favour of higher path cost ports. Valid values
are in the range 1 to 200000000.
