MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol)
It is defined in IEEE 802.1s, it
can map a group of VLAN’s into a single Multiple Spanning Tree
instance (MSTI). In fact,
the Spanning Tree Protocol is applied separately for a set of VLAN’s
instead of the whole network. Different root switches and different STP parameters can be
individually configured for each MSTI. So, one link can be active for one MSTI and the other link
active for the second MSTI. This enables some degree of load-balancing and generally two
MSTI’s are used in the network for easier implementation.
5.6.3 MSTI Status
Users can display the MSTI root status and port status by selecting the instance ID number
from 1 to 15 by clicking on the dropdown box from the “MSTI Status” interface.
