level, and a VLAN to MST instance association table) that defines an MST region as required by the IEEE 
802.1Q 2005 standard. Switches that share the same attribute values are all considered part of the same 
MST region. Currently each switch can belong to one MST region at a time.

An alphanumeric string up to 32 characters. Use quotes around string if

• Use the no form of this command to remove the MST region name. Note that it is not necessary to 

specify the region name to remove it. 

• To change an existing region name, use this same command but specify a string value that is different 

than the existing name. It is not necessary to first remove the old name.

• Specifying an MST region name is allowed regardless of which Spanning Tree operating mode or 

protocol is currently active on the switch. However, MST configuration values, such as region name, 
only apply when the switch is operating in the flat Spanning Tree mode and using MSTP.
