DESCRIPTION
On each bridge, the bridge communicates with the root through the root port. The root port
is the port on this Switch with the lowest path cost to the root (the root path cost). If there is
no root port, then this Switch has been accepted as the root bridge of the spanning tree
network.
This field displays the number of remaining hops.
Topology change information is directly propagated throughout the network from the
device that generates the topology change.
DESCRIPTION
This is the unique identifier for this MST.
Select a number from the drop-down menu to display results.
This field displays the port number.
A VLAN can be mapped to a specific Multiple Spanning Tree Instance (MSTI). MSTI allows
multiple VLANs to use the same spanning tree.
This field displays the identifier (in priority / port number).
Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame on to a LAN through that port. It is
recommended to assign this value according to the speed of the bridge. The slower the
media, the higher the cost.
