Configuring Multiple Spanning Tree
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provides differing load balancing scenarios. For example, while port A is
blocked in one STP instance, the same port can be placed in the Forwarding state in another STP instance.
This section contains the following topics:
• Defining MSTP Properties
• Defining MSTP Interfaces
• Defining MSTP Instance Mappings
• Defining MSTP Instance Settings

The MSTP Page contains information for defining global MSTP settings, including region names, MSTP revisions,
