STP: IEEE instead of PVST

When changing STP modes back to default it shows “Spanning tree enabled protocol ieee“.
The thing is that the ping between two hosts in different vlans with router on a stick configurations is not working anymore.

Off course, then I have checked the ping from the router to the hosts and they worked. I have turned to the first host, re-pinged the second host, and it worked.
The ping from second host to the first host was working since I have changed the spanning-tree to pvst.

SW3(config-if)#spa mode pvst
SW3(config)#do sh spa vl 20
