STP Configuration Advice

[Network_Enginee]

Good day all! Could someone help me translate the following Cisco (2960) STP config lines into STP lines that I'd need to put on an Extreme X440 that I'm replacing the Cisco 2960 with?

spanning-tree mode pvst
spanning-tree extend system-id
spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 28672

Currently we have two Ciscos and two HPs blade switches in this STP topology. One of the Cisco's is the root with priority of 24576. So the I'm replacing the secondary/28672 Cisco switch with the Extreme X440. The HP blade switches have a priority of 32768.

Also, in my research/reading, I read a few times (might be legacy articles) that PVST is a Cisco thing that Extreme might not be able to do. Possibly old articles I found? All VLANs in all switches are default VLAN 1.

Thanks all!

Thanks Stephen! Yes, I'll be using the default/native VLAN on the X440.

Gary,

I just sent you an email with an attached document, as I have been assigned your GTAC case that you opened up earlier today.

I am going to go ahead and paste the output of the section related to STP / PVST+ in the Extreme / Cisco doc that I attached for the completeness of this HUB conversation.

Extreme Configuration (EXOS) configure vlan test add port 3 tagged

conf vlan "Default" del port 3

create stpd domain_test

conf stpd "domain_test" add vlan "test" ports 1,3 pvst-plus

conf stpd "domain_test" tag 10

con stpd "domain_test" mode dot1d

conf stpd "domain_test" default-encapsulation pvst-plus

conf stpd "domain_test" ports link-type point-to-point 1,3

enable stpd "domain_test"

disable edp port 3

save

Cisco Configuration (IOS)

configure terminal

interface gigabitEthernet 0/3

no cdp enable

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

switchport nonegotiate

no shutdown

end

configure terminal

spanning-tree vlan 10

spanning-tree mode pvst

spanning-tree extend system-id

end

copy run start

Are you just using the default/native vlan on the x440? It will work but the config gets big with lots of VLANs.
