Dell 6200 manual CONFIGURING BRIDGE BrB, CONFIGURING BRIDGE BrC, April, Command, Description

MSTP INTEROPERABILITY OF THE DELL™ POWERCONNECT™ 6200 SERIES SWITCHES WITH CISCO IOS AND CISCO CATOS-BASED SWITCHES

CONFIGURING BRIDGE BrB

To configure Bridge BrB, use the same commands as you used to configure Bridge BrA with one exception: do not use the spanning-tree mst 1 priority 0 command on Bridge BrB because it is not a root bridge for any instance. If you use the Web interface to configure Bridge BrB, do not enter a new value in the Priority field on the Switching > Spanning Tree > MSTP Settings page.

CONFIGURING BRIDGE BrC

Use the commands in this section to configure the Cisco Catalyst3750 switch as bridge BrA.
