Any configuration changes made locally on the switch won't be synchronized with Sophos Central. We recommend making changes from the Sophos Central control panel instead.

MST port settings

The MST port settings tab shows you the configuration for each MST instance and the ports assigned to them. You can configure each port's status, path cost, and priority.

Select an MST ID from the drop-down list to see the following settings for each port:

  • MST ID: The MST instance ID.
  • Port: The port to which the settings apply.
  • Priority: The port's priority.
  • Internal path cost configuration and operation: The relative cost of sending spanning-tree traffic through the port to adjacent bridges within the MST instance.
  • Regional root bridge: The priority of the regional root bridge and its MAC address.
  • Internal root cost: The relative cost of the path to the internal root bridge.
  • Designated root bridge: The priority of the root bridge and its MAC address.
  • Port role: The port's STP role.
  • Port state: The port's STP state.
  • Port status: The port's On or Off status.

To configure port settings, select the ports you want to configure, click Edit, select the settings you want, and click Apply.
