MSTP control over Ethernet tunnels

When MSTP is used to control VLANs, a range of VLAN IDs is normally used to specify the VLANs to be controlled on the 7450 ESS and 7750 SR.

If an Ethernet tunnel SAP is to be controlled by MSTP, the Ethernet tunnel SAP ID needs to be within the VLAN range specified under the mst-instance.
