8.6 Configuring MSTP Interoperability Between Huawei
Devices and Non-Huawei Devices
To enable Huawei devices to work with non-Huawei devices on an MSTP-capable network,
configure the BPDU format, MSTP protocol packet format, and digest snooping function on the
Huawei devices.
8.6.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring MSTP interoperability between Huawei devices and non-Huawei devices,
familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and
obtain the data required for the configuration. This will help you complete the configuration task
quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
On an MSTP network, inconsistent protocol packet formats and BPDU keys may lead to a
communication failure. Setting MSTP parameters correctly on Huawei devices ensures
interoperability between Huawei devices and non-Huawei devices.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring MSTP interoperability between Huawei devices and non-Huawei devices,
complete the following task:
l
Configuring basic MSTP functions
Data Preparation
To configure MSTP interoperability between Huawei devices and non-Huawei devices, you
need the following data.
No.
Data
1
MSTP protocol packet format
8.6.2 Configuring a Proposal/Agreement Mechanism
To enable Huawei devices to communicate with non-Huawei devices, configure an appropriate
rapid transition mechanism on Huawei devices according to the Proposal/Agreement mechanism
on non-Huawei devices.
