Command Parameters
- mstp
- Configures the version as
MSTP.
- rstp
- Configures the version as
RSTP.
- stp-compatible
- Configures the version as STP
compatible.
- Although STP and MSTP are
variations of the same spanning tree protocol, they communicate information
differently. A switch in MSTI mode cannot recognize the spanning tree groups
running on a chassis configured with Nortel STP. MSTP spanning tree groups are not
the same as Nortel STP spanning tree groups.
- Using a switch in MSTP mode with
another chassis in STP mode can create a loop in the network. You must configure
protocol migration to true on all spanning-tree enabled interfaces when you change
the spanning tree version from STP-compatible to MSTP for those interfaces to work
in the proper mode.
Default
The default is MSTP.
