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.

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
