Usage
Information
Some non-Dell Networking systems which have hybrid ports participating in PVST+ transmit two kinds of
BPDUs: an 802.1D BPDU and an untagged PVST+ BPDU.
Dell Networking systems do not expect PVST+ BPDU on an untagged port. If this happens, the system
places the port in the Error-Disable state. This behavior might result in the network not converging. To
prevent the system from executing this action, use the no spanning-tree pvst err-disable
command cause invalid-pvst-bpdu.
