hi,
my topology is like this:
mulitiple catalyst acces switchs ( with 2 vlans : 1 for users xxx,1 for management 800) with one uplink to distribution ( 3com 4800g)
vlans users: 100,200,300,400
vlan management: 800
3com operates with RSTP and Ciso with Rpvst+
How could I make 3com the Root Bridge for all vlans ,
cause in reality , the root bridge is one of the catalyst and 3com flood all bpdus as any

Hi,
so far I understood 3Com was not supporting per-VLAN STP?
I.e., using one common STP instance for all VLANs?
In that case I would not recommend making it a root bridge.

3com is my disitribution layer ,
cisco is my access layer,
for good design I have to make it the Root bridge,
and if i use mst on cisco access and put all vlan in instance 0
?
thanx

It might work then, hopefully.
Do your access switches support MST though?
Different vendor compatibility is always tricky, I remember a 3Com/Cisco issue caused by different STP cost for 100Mbps port, e.g.
