Hi,

What would be the correlation of a (DLSW) bridge group spanning tree and the
spanning tree running on the catalyst where the DLSW Ethernet interfaces are
connected to ?

Since the bridge group uses protocol IEEE, wouldn't there be a risk of the
bridge group "participating" in the spanning tree running on the catalysts ?

I has really weird behaviour when running DLSW, CDP frames going over the
DLSW clouds, intermittent connection loss to the routers doing DLSW, .....

Having LSAP filters on DLSW would solve some of these issues, but I'm still
wondering if the bridge-group can mess-up the catalyst spanning tree.

Am I correct ?

Kind regards,

Koen.
