2.5.8. Rapid Spanning Tree
We provide Both Rapid-Spanning-Tree-Protocol (RSTP) and Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP).
The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D) for avoiding loops in
switched networks. Enable STP to ensure that only one path at a time is active between any two
nodes on the network.
The Rapid-Spanning-Tree-Protocol (RSTP) is a more advanced Protocol than STP. RSTP can
shorten spanning tree convergent time if your network topology changes. For the default, the switch
will use RSTP. If the switch receives a STP’s BPDU, the switch will degrade to STP.
You can enable STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol) using the web management’s switch setting advanced
item, select enable Spanning-Tree Protocol. We recommend that you enable STP on all switches to
ensure a single active path on the network.
