PVST+ in Multi-Vendor Networks

Some non-Dell EMC Networking systems which have hybrid ports participating in PVST+ transmit two kinds of BPDUs: an 802.1D BPDU and an untagged PVST+ BPDU.

Dell EMC Networking systems do not expect PVST+ BPDU (tagged or untagged) on an untagged port. If this situation occurs, Dell EMC Networking OS places the port in an Error-Disable state. This behavior might result in the network not converging. To prevent Dell EMC Networking OS from executing this action, use the no spanning-tree pvst err-disable cause invalid-pvst-bpdu command. After you configure this command, if the port receives a PVST+ BPDU, the BPDU is dropped and the port remains operational.
