Re: Foundry MRP cohabit with STP

[Fabien Delmotte <fdelmotte1 () mac com>]

Hi,

You cannot enable MRP and STP on the same physical interface, but you can enable MRP on a specific interface and STP on 
another, the only issue is MRP and STP are using the CPU, so if you loose a hello packet you may have some network 
instability.

P.S je suis en France si tu as besoin.
