spanning-tree config-name

Description

Sets the configuration name for the MST region in which the switch resides.

All switches within an MST region must have identical configuration names. For more than one MSTP switch in the same MST region, the identical region name must be configured on all such switches. If the default configuration name is retained on a switch, it cannot exist in the same MST region with another switch.

The no form of this command overwrites the currently configured name with the default name. The default name is a text string using the hexadecimal representation of the system MAC address.
