spanning tree loop between cisco and huawei switch

msocsupport
Level 1
Level 1

I have two switches and two huawei switches connected in redundancy topology. vlan 331 is pruned  on Gi0/19 ports in cisco switches. spanning tree is not putting any port on blocking. I am getting MAC flap between Gi0/19 and Gi0/23. Can any one help how to tune spanning tree work for vlan 331.

SW 1(Gi0/19)-----------------------(Gi13) Huawei switch1

 

 

SW2(Gi0/19)------------------------(Gi13)Huawei switch1

 

 

SW1 and SW2 are connected through Gi0/23 and Huawei switches are interconnected.

I'm guessing they are using different spanning tree calculation methods.

I see on the Cisco kit you are using the very old ieee spanning tree.  Perhaps try something a bit more modern like rapid spanning tree.
