Releases M.08.90 and M.08.91 Enhancements

The MSTP enhancement implementing the CLI command for spanning-tree legacy-mode was included in release M.08.91

QoS Pass-Through Mode enhancement, a new command that allows the configuration of the Quality of Service (QoS) queues to be selected.

MSTP Default Path Cost Controls

Summary: 802.1D and 802.1t specify different default path-cost values (based on interface speed). These are used if the user hasn't configured a "custom" path-cost for the interface. The default of this toggle is to use 802.1t values. The reason one might set this control to 802.1D would be for better interoperability with legacy 802.1D STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) bridges.

To support legacy STP bridges, the following commands (options) have been added to CLI:

spanning-treelegacy-path-cost- Use 802.1D values for default path-cost

no spanning-treelegacy-path-cost- Use 802.1t values for default path-cost (default setting)
