BPDUs destined for these switches. In this way, switches of different manufacturers are 
capable of communicating with each other in an MSTP domain. 
 
î  Note: 
z  You must enable digest snooping on a port first before enabling it globally. 
z  Digest snooping is unnecessary if the interconnected switches are from the same 
manufacturer. 
z  When implementing digest snooping, make sure that the domain configurations of 
the switches of different manufacturers are exactly the same to prevent possible 
broadcast storm caused by otherwise inconsistent mapping relationships between 
VLANs and VPN instances of each switch. 
z  If you want to change the configuration of a domain with one or multiple of its 
switches being digest snooping-enabled, be sure to disable digest snooping on 
these switches first to prevent possible broadcast storm caused by otherwise 
inconsistent mapping relationships between VLANs and VPN instances of each 
switch. 
z  To enable digest snooping, all ports in an MSTP domain connecting to switches 
coming from other manufacturers must have digest snooping enabled. 
z  Do not enable digest snooping on border ports of an MSTP domain. 
z  A digest snooping-enabled switch always keeps the latest configuration digests it 
receives. A configuration digest remains valid even if the corresponding port goes 
down.
