John, 

Thanks, but i have some questions:

a. how long time take to recover from a link fail using this scheme?
b. I did the changes and it is not working, it seems that stpd is working
but I can´t ping between switches using vlan 500 interface. Any ideay why is
it?

Here is the config:

enable stpd ALFA1 rapid-root-failover
configure stpd ALFA1 tag 500
configure stpd ALFA1 mode dot1w
configure stpd ALFA1 port mode pvst-plus 49 configure stpd ALFA1 port
link-type point-to-point 49 configure stpd ALFA1 port mode pvst-plus 50
configure stpd ALFA1 port link-type point-to-point 50 enable stpd ALFA1

Hi Ramón,

ExtremeWare 7.4 does not support 802.1s.  Version 7.6 supports it.  You 
could make this work with EW 7.4 if you use PVST+.  Change the cisco 
config from:

	spanning-tree mode mst
to
	spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst

On the extreme switch add:

	configure stpd ALFA1 port mode pvst-plus 49
		...
to indicate the type of BPDU that will be seen on the port.  We do this 
& it works well.

HTH

	-John
