Alcatel Unleashed

Hi all,

We have in one building Alcatel-Lucent OS6360-P48-EU and another building Brocade VDX. Brocade is core switch and configuration is :

interface Port-channel 300
vlag ignore-split
speed 1000
description Alcatel_OS6360 (10.10.10.1)
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,69,3050,3051,3052
no switchport trunk tag native-vlan
spanning-tree bpdu-mac 0100.0ccc.cccd
no spanning-tree shutdown
no shutdown

on Alcatel OS6360-P48-EU switch is like this:

linkagg lacp agg 1 size 2 admin-state enable
linkagg lacp agg 1 name "BrocadeVDX"
linkagg lacp agg 1 actor admin-key 1
linkagg lacp port 1/1/49 actor admin-key 1
linkagg lacp port 1/1/50 actor admin-key 1

spantree pvst+compatibility enable
spantree vlan 1 admin-state disable
spantree vlan 69 admin-state disable
spantree vlan 69 bpdu-switching enable
spantree vlan 3050 admin-state disable
spantree vlan 3051 admin-state disable
spantree vlan 3052 admin-state disable

When i turn on STP on evey VLAN, devices behind switch become inaccessible. Can anyone help me how to turn STP and devices beeing available?
Thank you.

which protocoll does the brocade use: RSTP (802.1w) or MSTP (802.1s). If RSTP: in flat or pvst+ mode?
regards
Silvio

@silvio: Brocade use spanning-tree rpvst , bridge-priority 0.

Hi,
I don't know rpvst- this isn't a standard protocoll (IEEE). Maybe it is proprieter from this vendor (similar to ALE 1x1/perVlan)? It sounds like rapid per vlan stp. Is it compatible with cisco pvst+.

@silvio: yes it is compatible with cisco pvst+ and work fine.

than try the following commands (global and at the port to brocade)
If you change the priority (not necessary if the brocade is the root with prio 0) than use multiple of 4096.
F.e for vlan 69: don't use bpdu-switching: If this doesn't work, than check the output (f.e. for vlan 69): best regards
Silvio
