Create instances
You can create multiple MSTP instances and map VLANs. A single MSTI provides no more benet than RSTP. To take full advantage of the
MSTP, create multiple MSTIs and map VLANs to them.
1 Enter an instance number in CONFIGURATION mode.
spanning tree mst configuration
2 Enter the MST instance number in MULTIPLE-SPANNING-TREE mode, from 0 to 63.
instance instance-number
3 Enter the VLAN and IDs to participate in the MST instance in MULTIPLE-SPANNING-TREE mode, from 1 to 4096.
