MSTP and bpdu-restrict - CIST vs MSTI

MSTP and bpdu-restrict - CIST vs MSTI

Enabling edge-safeguard on CIST is propagated to MSTIs as per documentation, what about bpdu-restrict?
Bpdu-restrict first must be enabled on the CIST, without that MSTIs don't want to enable it that for sure.
But what is the behavior when a BPDU arrives on an edge port that is in a VLAN (MSTI instance) and bpdu-restrict is enabled only on the CIST?

Basically this:

configure vlan V99 add ports 1
configure stpd s0 mode mstp cist
create stpd s1
configure stpd s1 mode mstp msti 1
enable stpd s1 auto-bind vlan V99
configure stpd s0 ports mode dot1d 1
configure stpd s0 ports cost auto 1
configure stpd s0 ports port-priority 128 1
configure stpd s0 ports link-type edge 1
configure stpd s0 ports edge-safeguard enable 1 recovery-timeout 300
configure stpd s0 ports bpdu-restrict enable 1 recovery-timeout 300
enable stpd s0 ports 1
configure stpd s1 ports mode dot1d 1
configure stpd s1 ports cost auto 1
configure stpd s1 ports port-priority 128 1
configure stpd s1 ports link-type edge 1
configure stpd s1 ports edge-safeguard enable 1
enable stpd s1 ports 1
# show s1 port 1

Does the port get disabled or not?
I mean, the port IS afterall in CIST with bpdu-restrict active...

Thanks.

Hi Vobelic,

I did a test in the LAB.

Here is the config which i have in LAB

configure mstp region 0004968fb060
configure stpd s0 mode mstp cist
create stpd s1
configure stpd s1 mode mstp msti 1
configure stpd s1 add vlan v99 ports 5 dot1d
configure stpd s0 ports mode dot1d 5
configure stpd s0 ports cost auto 5
configure stpd s0 ports port-priority 128 5
configure stpd s0 ports link-type edge 5
configure stpd s0 ports edge-safeguard enable 5
configure stpd s0 ports bpdu-restrict enable 5
enable stpd s0 ports 5
configure stpd s1 ports mode dot1d 5
configure stpd s1 ports cost auto 5
configure stpd s1 ports port-priority 128 5
configure stpd s1 ports link-type edge 5
configure stpd s1 ports edge-safeguard enable 5
enable stpd s1 ports 5

I have enabled the BPDU restrict only the STP S0 which is the CIST and here are the logs once i enabled the same.

I hope this is what the answer you are looking for...
