MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) is a protocol used to prevent loops in network topology. When configuring MSTP, there are several configuration elements that must match on all switches participating in the same MSTP region to ensure proper communication and functionality.

The two configuration elements that must match on all switches participating in the same MSTP region are:

  1. mstp-version: This refers to the version of MSTP being used. All switches in the same region must use the same version of MSTP to ensure compatibility and proper communication.

  2. configuration-name: This refers to the name assigned to the MSTP region. All switches in the same region must have the same configuration name to ensure they are part of the same region and to prevent conflicts with other regions.

On the other hand, msti-revision and revision-level are not configuration elements that must match on all switches participating in the same MSTP region.

  • msti-revision is used to keep track of configuration changes made to the MSTP region. It is not necessary for all switches to have the same revision number as long as they are using the same configuration-name and mstp-version.

  • revision-level is a value that can be used to prioritize one switch over another when determining the root bridge of the MSTP region. However, it is not a configuration element that must match on all switches participating in the same MSTP region.

In summary, the two configuration elements that must match on all switches participating in the same MSTP region are mstp-version and configuration-name.
