Procedure
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
switch#
configure terminal
Step 1
Disables all interfaces on the switch from automatically
interoperating with connected switch that is running in
switch(config)#
no spanning-tree
mst simulate pvst global
Step 2
Rapid PVST+ mode. By default, all interfaces on the switch
operate seamlessly between Rapid PVST+ and MST.
This example shows how to prevent the switch from automatically interoperating with a connecting switch
that is running Rapid PVST+:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
no spanning-tree mst simulate pvst global
Configuring PVST Simulation Per Port
MST interoperates seamlessly with Rapid PVST+. However, to prevent an accidental connection to a switch
that does not run MST as the default STP mode, you may want to disable this automatic feature. If you disable
PVST simulation, the MST-enabled port moves to the blocking state once it detects it is connected to a Rapid
PVST+-enabled port. This port remains in the inconsistent state until the port stops receiving BPDUs, and
then the port resumes the normal STP transition process.
You can block this automatic feature either globally or per port.
Procedure
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
switch#
configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies an interface to configure, and enters interface
configuration mode.
switch(config)#
interface
{{
type
slot
/
port
} | {
port-channel number
}}
Step 2
If this is a 10G breakout port, the
slot
/

syntax
is
QSFP-module
/
port
.
Note
Disables specified interfaces from automatically
interoperating with a connected switch that is running in
Rapid PVST+ mode.
switch(config-if)#
spanning-tree mst
simulate pvst disable
Step 3
By default, all interfaces on the switch operate seamlessly
between Rapid PVST+ and MST.
Reenables the seamless operation between MST and Rapid
PVST+ on specified interfaces.
