Foundry MRP cohabit with STP

Wed Nov 16 06:18:58 UTC 2011

MRP and STP are configured under VLAN,  same physical interface tagged
with different VLANs can participate both MRP and STP in different
VLAN, if you are asking MRP and STP under the same VLAN, that is not a
valid configuration, think about it, what if MRP wants to block an
interface but STP wants the same interface to forward traffic?

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.
