Note: For all devices in an MRP-Ring, activate the MRP compatibility in the
Redundancy:Spanning Tree:Global dialog if you want to use RSTP in
the MRP-Ring. If this is not possible, perhaps because individual devices do
not support the MRP compatibility, you deactivate the Spanning Tree
protocol at the ports connected to the MRP-Ring. Spanning Tree and Ring
Redundancy affect each other.
Note: If you combine RSTP with an MRP-Ring, set the bridges in the MRP-
Ring to a better (numerically lower) RSTP bridge priority than those in the
connected RSTP network. Thus you avoid a connection interruption if
connections in the MRP-Ring become inoperable.
