7.2.2 Basic MSTP Concepts
MSTP Network Hierarchy
, the MSTP network consists of one or more MST regions. Each MST
region contains one or more MSTIs. An MSTI is a tree network consisting of switching devices
running STP, RSTP, or MSTP.

An MST region contains multiple switching devices and network segments between them. The
switching devices of one MST region have the following characteristics:
l
MSTP-enabled
l
Same region name
l
Same VLAN-MSTI mappings
l
Same MSTP revision level
A LAN can comprise several MST regions that are directly or indirectly connected. Multiple
switching devices can be grouped into an MST region by using MSTP configuration commands.
As shown in
, the MST region D0 contains the switching devices S1, S2, S3, and S4,
and has three MSTIs.
