PVST mode

"on a fabric that interconnects to other switches, the first thing to obviously account for, is the model/brand of the other switches. what you want to ensure is a network without broken STP topologies/domains. If the other switches are Force10 as well, great! if not, some thought has to be invested upfront into STP interoperability. if they happen to be Cisco, (and you are not keen on using MSTP), the alternate available to you is to use Force10’s PVST mode, which is compatible with Cisco’s Per VLAN implementation of STP. This would enable you to have spanning tree forwarding topologies on a per VLAN basis that span the entire network."

Mise en oeuvre :

protocol spanning-tree pvst

no disable




Port membership is configured under the VLAN interface. On Cisco, you have Trunk and Access modes, but in Force10, Ports are defined as tagged or untagged members of the respective VLAN. This way of configuring port membership makes more sense actually. for e.g. if you have a port on Cisco device defined as trunk, carrying VLANs 10, 20 and 30, with native vlan 100, you can accomplish the same by defining the VLAN membership on force10 to be tagged for VLANs 10, 20 and 30, and untagged for VLAN 100, for that certain port.

Force10 - % Error

"When you try to configure ports on a Force 10 switch for a LAG the switch throws this error:


% Error: Port is in Layer-2 mode Gi 0/xx

To prevent this issue the command

# no switchport

If the no switchport command gives the error below:

% Error: Port has Layer-2 config on it Gi 0/xx

You will need to remove the spanning tree configuration for that port with this command.


#no spanning-tree rstp edge-port

Don't forget to save the running config ;)"
