Spanning Tree configuration help

I have a Cisco IE 4010 running MST connected to cisco IE 9320 running PVST connected via a single port. IE 9320 has a priority 24576 and IE 4010 has a priority 32768. Since they are running different mode of STP, that trunk port is getting blocked on Cisco IE 4010. the logs I see on Cisco IE 4010 is
%SPANTREE-2-PVSTSIM_FAIL: Blocking designated port Gi1/13: Inconsistent superior PVST BPDU received on VLAN 23, claiming root 24599:5000.e0e7.8380

   - @grapevine             All switches in the network must use the same spanning tree algorithm

You should have to run the same spanning tree mode on both switches.

I am not a Cisco employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

Would running this command on ie 4010 fix the issue

conf t
spanning-tree mode pvst
end

Hello @grapevine ,

I would recommend 

spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst

PVST uses non Rapid STP instances. Rapid PVST uses Rapid STP instances. 

on all switches

Hope to help
