Spanning tree and loop prevention are two different things. Spanning tree work on connections between switches and loop prevention work on switch-to-client. So you wont do loop prevention on ports where you connect switch to switch connection and you won't do spanning tree on ports where you have clients connected.
You generally wish to have the same spanning tree protocol used in all your connected switches.

Subject: Loop prevention vs spanning tree
Hi,
we have too many models of hp ad Aruba switches and we decided to enable loop prevention on the hp and spanning tree on Aruba.
Will that cause any instability in the network once the neighbors switches start communicating with each other? Should we enable the same mode of spanning tree on all the Aruba even if there are not connected directly?
thanks
