Dell C1048P Port Extender Networking Configuration Guide for the C9000 Series - Page 661

Enabling PVST+ Extend System ID In the following example, ports P1 and P2 are untagged members of different VLANs. These ports are untagged because the hub is VLAN unaware. There is no data loop in this scenario; however, you can employ PVST+ to avoid potential misconfigurations. If you enable PVST+ on the Dell Networking switch in this network, P1 and P2 receive BPDUs from each other. Ordinarily, the Bridge ID in the frame matches the Root ID, a loop is detected, and the rules of convergence require that P2 move to blocking state because it has the lowest port ID. To keep both ports in a Forwarding state, use extend system ID. Extend system ID augments the bridge ID with a VLAN ID to differentiate BPDUs on each VLAN so that PVST+ does not detect a loop and both ports can remain in a Forwarding state. Figure 103.
