[c-nsp] Spanning tree compatibility with RSTP

[Collins, Richard (SNL US)]

Hello,

I have some switches which are to be connected with some third-party
equipment which runs only classical RSTP.  

What is the recommended procedure - go to mst mode and set all vlans to
one MST instance and match the timers with the third party RSTP?  Can
one still run with multiple MST instances?

SUP720(config)#spanning-tree mode ?
  mst         Multiple spanning tree mode
  pvst        Per-Vlan spanning tree mode
  rapid-pvst  Per-Vlan rapid spanning tree mode

Thanks
Rich
