you can bcast storm your network to a halt if you are not careful. Use VSTP on juniper side to match the cisco PVST+. I believe Juniper's RSTP uses one instance of spanning tree over the physical network not an instance per vlan like cisco's implementation. I would also watch out for vlan 1.

You can probably make VLAN 1 work if you try, but for me it was easier to simply not use it. /Benny _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
