Configuration->MSTP Config.
Rapid spanning tree (IEEE 802.1w) is supported to reduce the spanning tree established time. Each
spanning tree establishment process takes several timeouts to avoid a loop, even the edge switch.
The user can configure the switch to avoid the long latency due to timeouts if there is only a single
connection to the switch. If two or more links to the switch exist and Rapid Spanning Tree is enabled,
the switch might not perform properly.
The switch supports IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree. An independent spanning tree can be
established per VLAN.
