nodes

Configuring Digest Snooping
Configuring No Agreement Check
Configuring TC snooping
Configuring protection functions
NOTE:
If GVRP and MSTP are enabled on a device at the same time, GVRP packets are forwarded along the
•
CIST. To advertise a certain VLAN within the network through GVRP, be sure that this VLAN is mapped
to the CIST (MSTI 0) when you configure the VLAN-to-instance mapping table. For more information
about GVRP, see the chapter "GVRP configuration."
MSTP is mutually exclusive with any of the following functions on a port: Smart Link, and BPDU
•
tunneling.
• Configurations made in system view take effect globally. Configurations made in Ethernet interface view
take effect on the current interface only. Configurations made in port group view take effect on all
member ports in the port group. Configurations made in Layer 2 aggregate interface view take effect
only on the aggregate interface. Configurations made on an aggregation member port can take effect
only after the port is removed from the aggregation group.
After you enable MSTP on a Layer 2 aggregate interface, the system performs MSTP calculation on the
•
Layer 2 aggregate interface but not on the aggregation member ports. The MSTP enable state and
forwarding state of each selected port in an aggregation group is consistent with those of the
corresponding Layer 2 aggregate interface.
Though the member ports of an aggregation group do not participate in MSTP calculation, the ports still
•
reserve their MSTP configurations for participating in MSTP calculation after leaving the aggregation
group.
