Configuring additional MSTP parameters
To configure a switch for MSTP, you could configure the name and the revision on each switch that is
being configured for MSTP. You must then create an MSTP Instance and assign an ID. VLANs are then
assigned to MSTP instances. These instances must be configured on all switches that interoperate with
the same VLAN assignments. Port cost, priority and global parameters can then be configured for
individual ports and instances. In addition, operational edge ports and point-to-point links can be
created and MSTP can be disabled on individual ports.
Each of the commands used to configure and operate MSTP are described in the following:
• Setting the MSTP name on page 335
• Setting the MSTP revision number on page 335
• Configuring an MSTP instance on page 336
• Configuring bridge priority for an MSTP instance on page 336
• Setting the MSTP global parameters on page 337
• Setting ports to be operational edge ports on page 337
• Setting automatic operational edge ports on page 337
• Setting point-to-point link on page 338
• Disabling MSTP on a port on page 338
• Forcing ports to transmit an MSTP BPDU on page 338
• Forcing ports to transmit an MSTP BPDU on page 338
Setting the MSTP name
Each switch that is running MSTP is configured with a name. It applies to the switch which can have
many different VLANs that can belong to many different MSTP regions.
To configure an MSTP name, use a command such as the following at the Global Configuration level.
device(config)#mstp name Brocade
Syntax: [no] mstp name name
The name parameter defines an ASCII name for the MSTP configuration. The default name is for the
name variable to be blank.
Setting the MSTP revision number
Each switch that is running MSTP is configured with a revision number. It applies to the switch which
can have many different VLANs that can belong to many different MSTP regions.
To configure an MSTP revision number, use a command such as the following at the Global
Configuration level.
device(config)#mstp revision 4
Syntax: [no] mstp revision revision-number
