Configuration example
# Configure Ethernet 1/0/1 to recognize and send packets in dot1s format.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface Ethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-Ethernet1/0/1] stp compliance dot1s
# Restore the default mode for Ethernet 1/0/1 to recognize/send MSTP packets.
[Sysname-Ethernet1/0/1] undo stp compliance

Configuring the MSTP Operation Mode

To make an MSTP-enabled switch compatible with STP/RSTP, MSTP provides the following three
operation modes:
STP-compatible mode, where the ports of a switch send STP BPDUs to neighboring devices. If
STP-enabled switches exist in a switched network, you can use the stp mode stp command to
configure an MSTP-enabled switch to operate in STP-compatible mode.
RSTP-compatible mode, where the ports of a switch send RSTP BPDUs to neighboring devices. If
RSTP-enabled switches exist in a switched network, you can use the stp mode rstp command to
configure an MSTP-enabled switch to operate in RSTP-compatible mode.
MSTP mode, where the ports of a switch send MSTP BPDUs or STP BPDUs (if the switch is
connected to STP-enabled switches) to neighboring devices. In this case, the switch is
MSTP-capable.
Configuration procedure
Follow these steps to configure the MSTP operation mode:
Use the command...
stp interface
interface-list
compliance { auto | dot1s |
legacy }
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
stp compliance { auto |
dot1s | legacy }
1-21
Remarks
Required
By default, a port recognizes and sends
MSTP packets in the automatic mode.
That is, it determines the format of
packets to be sent according to the
format of the packets received.
