MSTP Interface


Network Administrators can assign MSTP Interface settings through the "MSTP Port" page.


Instance
Specifies the MST instance.


Cost
Displays the cost of this port for the specified MST instance. "Cost" means the contribution of this port to the path cost of paths towards the spanning tree root which include this port.


Priority
Displays the priority of this port for the specified MST instance.


Edge
Indicates if this port is the edge port. Once configured as an edge port, the port state immediately transitions from disable/block to forwarding state.


P2P
Indicates if this port is a point-to-point link. If you connect a port to another port though a point-to-point link and the local port becomes a designated port, it negotiates a rapid transition with the other port to ensure a loop-free topology.


Status
Displays the MSTP port status for the specified MST instance.


Role
Displays the role of this port for the specified MST instance.
