RSTP Configuration
Spanning-Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while
preventing undesirable loops in the network. For an Ethernet network to function properly,
only one active path can exist between two stations. The Switch supports two versions of this
protocol:
• RSTP Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1w)
• STP Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1d)
NOTE: In this current version of firmware Spanning Tree will not work across trunk links.
