[AusNOG] Nexus does not receive BPDU at all

[Chris Kawchuk]

What kind of BPDU?

If you're running PVST+ (i.e. BPDU with a funky MAC 01:00:0C:CC:CC:CD and an 0x8100 TPID+VID...) yeah, that'll likely get dropped at the NTU. 

Metro-E CE 2.0 doesn't say this needs to pass for certification for E-LINE. Telstra I think "allows" it to a certain extent on some services (EVO), but don't ramp up 200 VLANs with PVST+ on them on an E-LINE; you're likely that the Cisco PVST+ BPDU will get throttled/dropped.

"normal" STP i.e. RSTP, MSTP, STP, etc.. should work. (MAC 01:80:C2:00:00:00)

- Ck.
