PVST through SPB

PVST through SPB

Hi all,

 

What is the recommended way for tackling PVST+ BPDU flooding through a SPB network?

 

There is a use-case where three (3) switches are connected to two (2) BEBs and PVST+ BPDUs need to:

1. be allowed on the UNI ports

2. be allowed to be flooded through the BEB NNI interconnection of 

 

PVST+ is needed to offer uplink redundancy to the CISCO switches and have loop avoidance. 

 

The fabric facing design is the following:

CISCO SWITCH1 --> BEB-SW01 UNI PORT 1
CISCO SWITCH2 --> BEB-SW01 UNI PORT 2

CISCO SWITCH3 --> BEB-SW02 UNI PORT 1

BEB-SW1 NNI PORT X <--> BEB-SW2 NNI PORT X

 

Each UNI port will have multiple VLANS each mapped to their own ISID.

 

There are multiple other BEB/BCB switches which currently work for the VLAN-ISID mappings as expected and are pure fabric based.

 

Any recommendation is more than welcomed.

 

Thank you

Best Regards

Cool I did know that you can map MSTP to SPBM.

 ieee standard like MSTP or well work RFC like BGP & OSFP

Is better when you run on mulitivendor hardware.
