Foundry MRP cohabit with STP

[Viet-Hung Ton <vton () integra fr>]

Hi, 


We are deploying a network using MRP of Foundry (Metro Ring Protocol of Brocade now) and STP (in this case Rapid 
Spanning Tree Protocol-802.1W). The problem is that in some networking segment, we must enable both of protocols in the 
same interfaces and vlans for the correct function of our network. By the way, as MRP and STP are 2 protocols of loop 
prevention, the devices of Brocade force us choosing and activating just one among them that not our intention. 


Anybody has the same situation of some experiences in this case: how to make coexist these two protocols. (MRP and 
STP). 

Best thanks, 


Viet Ton.
