1.11 Configuring the Function of Tagging BPDUs
When switches at both ends of a VPN are engaged in STP calculations, you must
enable the function of tagging BPDUs on these switches, because only tagged BPDUs
are permitted to pass through a VPN.
Follow these steps to configure the function of tagging BPDUs:
To do...
Use the command...

stp bpdu-tagged
Required
Note:
z
This feature is only applicable to switches in the same MST region and only
applicable to an MSTI with only one VLAN. With this feature enabled, you should
map the VLAN used for transmitting tagged BPDUs to an MSTI and you cannot map
any other VLAN to the MSTI.
z
When CIST information does not need calculating, you can use the
stp
bpdu-tagged cist-ignore
command on the corresponding port to enable the
function of ignoring CIST information in tagged BPDUs. With this feature enabled on
a port, the port will be blocked by STP if it receives BPDUs from any other MST
region, and the port will be unblocked if it has not received BPDUs of any other MST
region within the specified time.
z
Do not enable the function of tagging BPDUs and the function of transmitting
BPDUs transparently on a switch at the same time.
