Hi,
you have to be very careful with that.
- PVST sends BPDUs with VLAN Tag. RSTP/MSTP send everything untagged
- Depending on VLAN 1 configured native on a trunk or non-nativ, PVST will use the same multicast mac address or a different one.
This can lead to a situation, where the differnet devices do not recognize each others spanningtree. Often resulting forwarding situation will be as you planned, but somtimes it will be different.
Sadly I do not have an official reference which I could share.
But if you search for "Holger Hasenaug" "Cisco" Procurve" "interoperable". He wrote a presentation named "HP / Cisco interoperability and migration scenario". Maybe you add "Vincent Giles" I know of a newer version of the presentation, they did togehter.
Another document is "Migrating from Cisco to
HP ProCurve Networks". This one can be found here: http://kb.kaminskiengineering.com/sites/kb.kaminskiengineering.com/files/support_files/HP%20Procurve%20Migrating%20from%20Cisco%20to%20ProCurve%20Networks.pdf
I know both documents from the pre HPE/Aruba merger times. But since spanningtree didn't change much, they are still valid.
Although this is written with Cisco and Procurve in mind, this contains general information about Cisco vs. RestOfWorld ;-)
Someone at HPE/Aruba, maybe you can chime and provide valid links to these documents?
