********************Configuring an MST region on the CORE********************
1. Enter system view
system-view
2. Enter MST region view
stp region-configuration
3. Configure the MST region
region-name hp
4. Configure the VLAN-to-instance mapping table
instance 1 vlan 1 to 4094
5. Configure revision level. Default is 0
revision-level 1
6. Display the MST region configurations that are not activated yet
check region-configuration
7. Activate MST region configuration manually
active region-configuration
8. Display the activated configuration information of the MST region
display stp region-configuration

********************Configuring CORE as the root bridge of the STP instances********************
1. Enter system view
system-view
2. Configure the current device as the root bridge of a specific spanning tree
stp instance 0 to 1 root primary
NOTE: All VLANs in an MST region are mapped to the CIST (or MSTI 0) by default.
!With the BPDU guard function enabled on the devices, when edge ports receive configuration BPDUs, MSTP will close these ports and notify the NMS that these ports have been closed by MSTP.
stp bpdu-protection
!Enable STP globally
stp global enable

********************Configuring an MST region on the Access Switches********************
system-view
stp region-configuration
region-name hp
instance 1 vlan 1 to 4094
revision-level 1
check region-configuration
active region-configuration
#
stp bpdu-protection
stp global enable

********************Verification Commands********************
display current-configuration | begin stp
display stp root
display stp region-configuration
display stp instance 1
display stp brief

NOTE: region-name and revision-level should be the same on all the switches so configuration digest matches on all of them.
