Boundary Ports. They only process CIST related information and abandon MSTI information.
11.1.2 Port Roles
The MSTP bridge assigns a port role to each port which runs MSTP.
CIST port roles: Root Port, Designated Port, Alternate Port and Backup Port
On top of those roles, each MSTI port has one new role: Master Port.
The port roles in the CIST (Root Port, Designated Port, Alternate Port and Backup Port) are
defined in the same ways as those in the RSTP.
11.1.3 MSTP Load Balance
In a MSTP region, VLANs can by mapped to various instances. That can form various
topologies. Each instance is independent from the others and each distance can have its own
attributes such as bridge priority and port cost etc. Consequently, the VLANs in different
instances have their own paths. The traffic of the VLANs are load-balanced.
11.2 MSTP Configuration Task List
MSTP configuration task list:
1. Enable the MSTP and set the running mode
2. Configure instance parameters
3. Configure MSTP region parameters
4. Configure MSTP time parameters
5. Configure the fast migrate feature for MSTP
6. Configure the format of port packet
7. Configure the spanning-tree attribute of port
8. Configure the snooping attribute of authentication key
9. Configure the FLUSH mode once topology changes
1. Enable MSTP and set the running mode
