Description Use this command to enable or disable the switch to interoperate with some legacy Cisco
switches. For some switches, the MSTP field Version 3 Length does not adhere to the current
standards.
Usage Guidelines If Cisco interoperability is required on any switch in the network, then all switches in the network
must be compatible, and therefore enabled using this command for interoperability with a Cisco
switch.
If xSTP is enabled over VCS, this command must be executed on all RBridge nodes.
Examples To enable Cisco interoperability on a switch:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# protocol spanning-tree mstp
switch(conf-mstp)# cisco-interoperability enable
To disable Cisco interoperability on a switch:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# protocol spanning-tree mstp
switch(conf-mstp)# cisco-interoperability disable
