Specifying the MST Name
You configure a region name on the bridge. For two or more bridges to be in the same MST region, they must
have the identical MST name, VLAN-to-instance mapping, and MST revision number.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Enters MST configuration mode on the system. You must be in the MST
configuration mode to assign the MST configuration parameters, as follows:
• MST name
• Instance-to-VLAN mapping
• MST revision number
• Synchronize primary and secondary VLANs in private VLANs
• The first form commits all the changes and exits MST configuration
mode.
• The second form exits the MST configuration mode without committing
any of the changes.
(Optional)
Returns the MST region configuration to the following default values:
• The region name is an empty string.
• No VLANs are mapped to any MST instance (all VLANs are mapped
to the CIST instance).
• The revision number is 0.
