Gets a list of all spanning tree instances.
Creates the specified spanning tree instances.
Deletes the specified spanning tree instances.
Deletes all spanning tree instances.
Gets the instance ids of the specified spanning tree instances.
Note: A set_instance_id method is not supported.
Sets the bridge priorities of the specified spanning tree instances. Each bridge in a
spanning tree instance has a priority value, which controls the topology of the spanning
tree chosen by the protocol. The bridge with the lowest priority value will become the
root of the spanning tree. Priority values range from 0-61440 in steps of 4096. Hence,
the supported priorities are:
0 16384 32768 49152
4096 20480 36864 53248
8192 24576 40960 57344
12288 28672 45056 61440
The default bridge priority is 61440, which will prevent BIGIP from being chosen as the root
bridge. If the specified bridge priority is not one of the allowed values listed above, it is
rounded down to the next lower value in the list.
In STP or RSTP mode, only STP intance 0 is valid.

Sets the priorities for the specified network interfaces in the specified spanning tree instances.
These priority values influence which interfaces are chosen to carry network traffic. Interfaces with
numerically lower values are favored to carry traffic. Interface priorities have values in the range
from 0-240 in steps of 16. Hence, the supported priorities are:
0 64 128 192
16 80 144 208
32 96 160 224
48 112 176 240

values listed above, it is rounded down to the next lower value in the list.

Sets the path costs for the specified network interfaces in the specified spanning tree instances.
An interface path cost represents the relative cost of sending network traffic through that interface.
In calculating the spanning tree, the algorithm tries to minimize the total path cost between each point
and the root bridge. By manipulating the path costs of different interfaces, it's possible to steer
traffic toward paths that are faster, more reliable, and/or more economical. Path costs have a range of
1-200,000,000, and the default path cost for an interface is based on the interface's maximum speed (not
the actual speed).
Max interface speed Default path cost
10 Gb/s 2,000
1 Gb/s 20,000
100 Mb/s 200,000
10 MB/s 2,000,000
The default path cost is a function of the interface's maximum speed, not its actual speed, so the default
path cost of a 10/100/1000 Mb/s interface will be 20,000 even if the interface is running at 10 Mb/s.
Changes in link speed don't cause path costs to change.
Link aggregation doesn't affect the default path cost, i.e. a trunk of four 1 Gb/s interfaces will still
have a default path cost of 20,000.
In STP or RSTP mode, only STP intance 0 is valid.

The STPInstance interface enables you to work with the definitions and attributes associated with an STP instance.
This second version of the interface was created to handle
changing the STP instance key from the STP instance identifier to an
arbitrary name. Along the way, it also eliminated the unnecessary
structures required to handle the STP instance interface members.
