Operation Manual – MSTP
H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches
Chapter 1 MSTP Configuration
1-42
Similarly, a port on an RSTP-enabled switch operating as an upstream switch turns to
the STP-compatible mode when it has an STP-enabled switch connected to it. When
the STP enabled downstream switch is then replaced by an MSTP-enabled switch, the
port cannot automatically transit to the MSTP-compatible mode. It remains in the
STP-compatible mode. In this case, you can force the port to transit to the
MSTP-compatible mode by performing the mCheck operation on the port.
1.5.1 Configuration Prerequisites
MSTP runs normally on the switch.
1.5.2 Configuration Procedure
You can perform the mCheck operation in the following two ways.
I. Perform the mCheck operation in system view
Follow these steps to perform the mCheck operation in system view:

1.5.3 Configuration Example
# Perform the mCheck operation on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.
1)
Perform this configuration in system view
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 mcheck
2)
Perform this configuration in Ethernet port view
