MST Port Configuration
Use the MST Port Configuration screen to configure and display Multiple Spanning Tree 
(MST) settings on a specific port on the switch.
A port can become Diagnostically Disabled (D-Disable) when DOT1S experiences a severe 
error condition. The most common cause is when the DOT1S software experiences BPDU 
flooding. The flooding criteria is such that DOT1S receives more than 15 BPDUs in a 
3-second interval. The other causes for DOT1S D-Disable are extremely rare.
To configure MST port settings:
1. 
Select Switching 
 STP 
 Advanced 
 MST Port Configuration
Note:
If no MST instances have been configured on the switch, the screen 
displays a “No MSTs Available” message.
2. 
Select the ports or LAGs to configure.
For information about how to select and configure one or more ports or LAGs, see 
30.
3. 
Configure the MST values for the selected port(s) or LAG(s):
Port Priority. The priority for a particular port within the selected MST instance. The 
port priority is set in multiples of 16. If you specify a value that is not a multiple of 16, 
the priority is set to the priority is automatically set to the next lowest priority that is a 
multiple of 16. For example, if you set a value between 0 and 15, the priority is set to 
0. If you specify a number between 16 and 31, the priority is set to 16. It takes a value 
in the range of 0–240.
Port Path Cost. Set the Path Cost to a new value for the specified port in the selected 
MST instance. It takes a value in the range of 0–200000000.
