Configuring MSTP on a product
You can configure MSTP attributes from the VLAN View tab or the Product View tab on the VLAN
Manager dialog box.
1. Perform one of the following tasks to select the VLAN on which MSTP will be configured:
•
On the VLAN View tab, expand the list of VLANs and select one or multiple VLANs on which
MSTP will be configured.
•
On the Product View tab, expand the product, product group, or IP subnet folder that
contains the products on which the VLAN you want is configured. Then expand the entry to
display its VLAN and select the VLAN where MSTP will be configured. You can select more
than one VLAN from this tab.
Either of these methods enables the STP button on the VLAN Manager dialog box. For either
view, you can use the Search tool to look for the VLAN on which MSTP will be configured.
2. Click the STP button on the VLAN Manager dialog box to display the STP Configuration dialog
box.
3. Select the target switch, VLAN, or port from the Target Context list.
