STP on catalyst 6506-E (IOS 15.1(2)SY7) support

[Giorgio Romano]

Hello,

does the catalyst 6506-E with 15.1(2)SY7 (VS-SUP2T-10G) support only MSTP and Rapid-STP?

When I configure the STP mode I have only two choices: 

switch(config)#spanning-tree mode ?
mst Multiple spanning tree mode
rapid-pvst Per-Vlan rapid spanning tree mode

Is it real?

In my network there are switches (HP GbE2c blade) that do not support rapid-pvst.

I need to configure PVST on catalyst.

How can I do this?

Thank you very much

Giorgio

Yes that's correct that's what they support same on my VSS and standalone devices running v15 with Sup2Ts its the default now

xxxxxxxx#sh spanning-tree summary
Switch is in rapid-pvst mode

show spanning-tree summary will show you whats currently running , you could change it all to MST both support that

This has examples of HP and Cisco running MST together
