Can someone advise me on the Spanning Tree changes with this? I'm looking to purchase some C9300L-M switches and use this new feature. Previous Meraki guidance for MST configuration was for a root Cisco switch to match this config: spanning-tree mode mst spanning-tree mst configuration name region1 revision 1 spanning-tree mst 0 priority 4096 This makes sense because I can assign the same name across all switches. This ensures that all the switches are in the same MST region. But with this new Cloud-Native IOS-XE feature, the MST recommendation changed. According to the overview document, the Spanning Tree configuration name changes to the MAC address of the switch. And so if each Meraki switch has a unique MST name, this would essentially put all of your Meraki switches outside of the MST region of your root switch, no matter what. I'm pretty sure the MST revision number, VLAN assignments and configuration name must match to ensure each switch is in the same MST region. spanning-tree mode mst spanning-tree extend system-id ! spanning-tree mst configuration name 00180a4f0001 revision 1 Cisco covers this here: Understand the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s) - Cisco Note: If for any reason two switches differ on one or more configuration attribute, the switches are part of different regions. For more information refer to the next section, Region Boundary. So what MST configuration should my traditional IOS-XE root switch (C9500) use to ensure Meraki edge switches are in the same region as my root?
