my experience with FTOS is pre-Dell so things may have changed since. FTOS- RSTP is a *single-instance* of spanning tree for all vlans - definitely not what I would deploy. Cisco R-PVST is *per-vlan* and juniper, foundry, extreme do the same.
FTOS and Cisco PVST work fine FTOS PVST and Cisco PVST+ work fine: just no benefit of rapid convergence via uplink-fast or backbone-fast as in PVST+ for indirect link failures. I believe the original question was about R-PVST so no, FTOS doesn't do that as far as I know. ./Randy --- On Wed, 11/28/12, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > From: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [c-nsp] MST Experiences: was Re: Dell switches (specifically > PowerConnect 7048P) and Ciscos > To: [email protected], [email protected] > Cc: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 11:36 AM > Dell FTOS has PVST on our Force10 > switches.
