MST issue between cisco2950 and cisco4006

hi,

i configured mst among 2 cisco2950 and 1 cisco4006. i believed i typed in all required setting on them, but the mst seems works only on 2 2950, not 4006.

config on all 3 switch:

4006:

#MST (IEEE 802.1s)

set spantree priority 24576 mst 3

set spantree priority 24576 mst 5

#MST Configuration

set spantree mst config rollback force

set spantree mst config name abc revision 10

set spantree mst 0 vlan 1-102,107-4094

set spantree mst 3 vlan 103-104

set spantree mst 5 vlan 105-106

set spantree mst config commit

2950:

j2950#sh spanning-tree mst configuration

Name [abc]

Revision 10

Instance Vlans mapped

-------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

0 1-102,107-4094

3 103-104

5 105-106

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

based on the config, 4006 is supposed to be the root for instance 3 and 5. but somehow one 2950 worked as root for instance 3 and 5. even worse, 4006 is totally invisible for both 2950.

after enable the debug on 2950, some output looks like below: (fa0/1 connected to my 4006 and fa0/24 is to another 2950)

Hi,

I am not expert in MST, the problem I missed MST show yesterday in Cisco tv due to some internet problem.

Anyways, From what I recognized, You missed to configure the Region.

In order for Bridges to have the same spanning-tree MST overview , they should be in the same region.

I would like also to have Francois's valuable comment on this, as he could give us excellent picture.

HTH

Mohamed,

thanks for ur reply. But it is not my story.

i had set the region name and revision number on all these 3 switches.

name=abc

revision=10

instant 3:vlan103, 104

instant 5:vlan105, 106

but anyway, thanks for ur comment.

Hi,

Could you forward a "show span mst detail" for the relevant interfaces on the IOS boxes, and the equivalent on the catos box (probably some form of show spantree mst, can remember the exact command, but you must know;-)

I don't remember all the subtlety of the MST debug in the pre-standard release, but it seems indeed that the mrecords received on f0/1 are not displayed, while they are for f0/24.

Did you allow any vlan mapped to instance 3 and 5 on f0/1? We only create the MSTI information on this condition.

Regards,

Francois

thanks, Francois

i had figured out the reason.

some trunking setting is inconsistent on my 4006 and 2950. after correct the setting, everything looks fine so far.

thanks again.

The vlans were not allowed or the port was not trunking, right?
