NOTE:
•
If GVRP and a spanning tree protocol are enabled on a router at the same time, GVRP packets are
forwarded along the CIST. To advertise a certain VLAN within the network through GVRP, make sure
that this VLAN is mapped to the CIST when you configure the VLAN-to-instance mapping table. For
more information about GVRP, see the chapter “Configuring GVRP.”
•
The spanning tree configurations are mutually exclusive with any of the following functions on a port:
service loopback, RRPP, Smart Link, and BPDU tunnel.
•
The spanning tree configurations made in system view take effect globally. Configurations made in
Ethernet interface view take effect on the current interface only. Configurations made in port group view
take effect on all member ports in the port group. Configurations made in Layer 2 aggregate interface
view take effect only on the aggregate interface. Configurations made on an aggregation member port
can take effect only after the port is removed from the aggregation group.
•
After you enable a spanning tree protocol on a Layer 2 aggregate interface, the system performs
spanning tree calculation on the Layer 2 aggregate interface but not on the aggregation member ports.
The spanning tree protocol enable state and forwarding state of each selected member port is consistent
with those of the corresponding Layer 2 aggregate interface.
•
Though the member ports of an aggregation group do not participate in spanning tree calculation, the
ports still reserve its spanning tree configurations for participating spanning tree calculation after
leaving the aggregation group.
