6.3.4 MSTP Configuration
This switch supports rapid spanning tree (IEEE 802.1w) to reduce time required to establish a tree. Each spanning tree establishment process takes several timeouts in order to avoid looping, even the edge switch. You can configure this switch to avoid the long latency due to timeouts if there is only a single connection to the switch. In case of two or more links to the switch and Rapid Spanning Tree is enabled, the switch may not perform properly.
This switch supports IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP). An independent spanning tree is established per VLAN.
