Configuring the MSTP Protocol Packet Format on an Interface
Context
MSTP protocol packets have two formats: dot1s (IEEE 802.1s standard packets) and legacy (proprietary protocol packets).
You can specify the packet format or use auto mode. In auto mode, a switching device changes the MSTP protocol packet format to match that of the received MSTP protocol packet so that the switching device can communicate with the peer device.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run interface interface-type interface-number
The Ethernet interface view is displayed.
- Run stp compliance { auto | dot1s | legacy }
The MSTP protocol packet format is configured on the interface.
The auto mode is used by default.
- Run commit
The configuration is committed.
