    Hi I am unable to add EX4300 to an MSTP instance. The relevant configuration as below.

     

    Root Bridge 

     

    set protocols mstp configuration-name test
    set protocols mstp revision-level 1
    set protocols mstp bridge-priority 4k
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/0 cost 10000
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/0 mode point-to-point
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/2 cost 12000
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/2 mode point-to-point
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/3 cost 14000
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/3 mode point-to-point
    set protocols mstp msti 1 bridge-priority 4k
    set protocols mstp msti 1 vlan 310
    set protocols mstp msti 1 vlan 1024
    set protocols mstp msti 1 interface ge-0/0/0 cost 14000
    set protocols mstp msti 1 interface ge-0/0/2 cost 15000
    set protocols mstp msti 1 interface ge-0/0/3 cost 16000

     

    Non Root Bridge

     

    set protocols mstp configuration-name test
    set protocols mstp revision-level 1
    set protocols mstp bridge-priority 36k
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/5 edge
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/5 no-root-port
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/46 cost 10000
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/46 mode point-to-point
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/47 cost 12000
    set protocols mstp interface ge-0/0/47 mode point-to-point
    set protocols mstp msti 1 bridge-priority 36k
    set protocols mstp msti 1 vlan 310
    set protocols mstp msti 1 interface ge-0/0/46 cost 10000
    set protocols mstp msti 1 interface ge-0/0/47 cost 12000

    Hello,

     

    Please have the non root-bridge vlan 1024 added in msti 1.

    eeskiyen is correct.  MSTP requires that the following be the same on all switches participating in the MSTP:

     

    name

    revision level

    VLAN-to-Instance mappings

     

    If these parameters do not match, then the switches become MSTP in two separate regions.  Here is a good reference with some logical design examples.  It's Cisco-centric, but the concepts are still the same:
