Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation
802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
Syntax: [no] spanning-tree config-name < ascii-string >
This command resets the configuration name of the MST
region in which the switch resides. This name can include up
to 32 non-blank characters and is case-sensitive. On all
switches within a given MST region, the configuration names
must be identical. Thus, if you want more than one MSTP
switch in the same MST region, you must configure the
identical region name on all such switches. If you retain the
default configuration name on a switch, it cannot exist in the
same MST region with another switch. (Default Name: A text
string using the hexadecimal representation of the switch’s
MAC address)
The
no
form of the command overwrites the currently
configured name with the default name.
Note: This option is available only when the switch is
configured for MSTP operation. Also, there is no defined
limit on the number of regions you can configure.
Syntax: spanning-tree config-revision < revision-number >
This command configures the revision number you designate
for the MST region in which you want the switch to reside.
This setting must be the same for all switches residing in the
same region. Use this setting to differentiate between region
configurations in situations such as the following:
• Changing configuration settings within a region where you
want to track the configuration versions you use
• Creating a new region from a subset of switches in a current
region and want to maintain the same region name.
• Using the
pending
option to maintain two different
configuration options for the same physical region.
Note that this setting must be the same for all MSTP switches
in the same MST region. (Range:
0 - 65535 ; Default: 0 )
Note: This option is available only when the switch is
configured for MSTP operation.
