Command Usage
• Spanning Tree Protocol
12
Uses RSTP for the internal state machine, but sends only 802.1D
BPDUs. This creates one spanning tree instance for the entire network.
If multiple VLANs are implemented on a network, the path between
specific VLAN members may be inadvertently disabled to prevent
network loops, thus isolating group members. When operating multiple
VLANs, we recommend selecting the MSTP option.
