behaves in a way that is appropriate for STP and RSTP bridges. An MSTP bridge can be
configured to behave entirely as an RSTP bridge or an STP bridge.
Note: For two bridges to be in the same region, the force version must be

must match. For additional information about regions and their effect
on network topology, refer to the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
