D-Link DES-3250TG Standalone Layer 2 Switch
802.1d/802.1w Compatibility
RSTP can interoperate with legacy equipment and is capable of automatically adjusting BPDU packets to 802.1d format when necessary. However, any segment using 802.1 STP will not benefit from the rapid transition and rapid topology change detection of RSTP. The protocol also provides for a variable used for migration in the event that legacy equipment on a segment is updated to use RSTP.
STP Switch Settings
In the Configuration folder open the Spanning Tree folder, then click on the STP Switch Settings link.
