8.6.3 Configuring the MSTP Protocol Packet Format on an Interface
MSTP protocol packets can be transmitted in auto, dot1s, or legacy mode. The default mode is
auto.
Context
MSTP protocol packets have two formats: dot1s (IEEE 802.1s standard packets) and legacy
(proprietary protocol packets). The auto mode was designed to allow an interface to
automatically use the format of MSTP protocol packets sent from the remote interface. In this
manner, the two interfaces use the same MSTP protocol packet format.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
interface
interface-type interface-number
The view of the Ethernet interface participating in STP calculation is displayed.
Step 3
Run:
stp compliance
{
auto
|
dot1s
|
legacy
}
The MSTP protocol packet format is configured on the interface.
The auto mode is used by default.
NOTE
The negotiation will fail if the format of MSTP packets is set to
dot1s
on one end and
legacy
on the other
end.

8.6.4 Enabling the Digest Snooping Function
Interconnected Huawei and non-Huawei devices cannot communicate with each other if they
have the same region name, revision number, and VLAN-to-instance mappings but different
BPDU keys. To address this problem, enable the digest snooping function on the Huawei device.
Context
Perform the following steps on a switching device in an MST region to enable the digest snooping
function.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
