Configuring RSTP

The L2 Switch > RSTP window displays the settings for configuring Rapid

Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for the router.

The RSTP protocol prevents loops in the network and dynamically reconfigures the physical links in a switch that should forward frames.

To configure RSTP for the router, follow these steps:

STEP 1 Click L2 Switch > RSTP.

STEP 2 Configure the L2 switch RSTP settings:

•System Priority—Enter the system priority from 0 to 61440 in increments of 4096.

The lower the system priority, the more likely the router is to become the root in the spanning tree. The default is 32768.
