Strange behavior of MSTP with MVRP

here’s setup (all devices are HEX)

[A]----[1]-----[2]-----[B]
        \       /
          \[3]/

setup: single vlan (20) with MSTP + MVRP
trunks between 1,2,3 and access ports towards A and B
communication works fine A–1–2–B
when i unplug cable between 1-2 it stops working
nothing goes through backup path A-1-3-2-B
here’s weird part:

if i add bridges on devices 1 and 2 as tagged or untagged to vlan 20 manually
everything works.
can anyone confirm this behavior? is it specific to small switches (HEX)
or does it happen on big CRS.

update: the problem also exists on CRS3xx switches.
does it mean MVRP is not supposed to work with MSTP?

Issue confirmed, we are looking for a fix, thanks!

thank you :slight_smile:
