Hi,
You cannot enable MRP and STP on the same physical interface, but you =
can enable MRP on a specific interface and STP on another, the only =
issue is MRP and STP are using the CPU, so if you loose a hello packet =
you may have some network instability.

Fabien
P.S je suis en France si tu as besoin.
