230 CHAPTER 23: MSTP CONFIGURATION
■ You need to enable this feature both globally and on associated ports to make 
it take effect. It is recommended to enable the feature on all associated ports 
first and then globally, making all configured ports take effect, and disable the 
feature globally to disable it on all associated ports.
■ It is not recommended to enable Digest Snooping on the MST region edge port 
to avoid loops.
■ It is recommended to enable Digest Snooping first and then MSTP. Do not 
enable Digest Snooping when the network works well to avoid traffic 
interruption.
Configuration Example Network requirements
■ Device A and Device B connect to a third-party’s router and all the routers are in 
the same region.
■ Enable Digest Snooping on Device A and Device B so that the three routers can 
communicate with one another.

Agreement Check
Two types of messages are used for rapid state transition on designated RSTP and 
MSTP ports:
■ Proposal: sent by designated ports to request rapid transition
■ Agreement: used to acknowledge rapid transition requests
