z
The port only recognizes and sends MSTP packets in legacy format. In this case, the port can only
communicate with the peer through packets in legacy format.
z
If packets in dot1s format are received, the port turns to discarding state to prevent network storm.
When a port operates in the 802.1s mode:

The port only recognizes and sends MSTP packets in dot1s format. In this case, the port can only
communicate with the peer through packets in dot1s format.

If packets in legacy format are received, the port turns to discarding state to prevent network storm.
Configuration procedure
Follow these steps to configure the mode a port recognizes and sends MSTP packets (in system view):

By default, a port recognizes and
sends MSTP packets in the
automatic mode. That is, it
determines the format of packets to
be sent according to the format of
the packets received.

Configuring the MSTP Operation Mode
To make a MSTP-enabled device compatible with STP/RSTP, MSTP provides the following three
operation modes:
