Configuring Device Information 289Defining Rapid STP Parameters Using CLI CommandsThe following table summarizes the equivalent CLI commands for defining Rapid STP parameters asdisplayed in the Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) page.The following is an example of the CLI commands:Configuring Multiple Spanning TreeMSTP operation maps VLANs into STP instances. Multiple Spanning Tree provides differing loadbalancing scenario. For example, while port A is blocked in one STP instance, the same port is placed in theForwarding State in another STP instance.In addition, packets assigned to various VLANs are transmitted along different paths within MultipleSpanning Trees Regions (MST Regions). Regions are one or more Multiple Spanning Tree bridges by whichframes can be transmitted. To open the MSTP Settings page, click Switch → Spanning Tree → MSTPSettings in the tree view.Table 7-22.
