4-6.16 Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Configuration (RSTP)

The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol and provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change. HME-421E/423E also supports STP and will auto detect the connected device whether it is running STP or RSTP protocol.

4-6.16.1 System Configuration

The administrator can view the spanning tree information from the Root Bridge Information column.

	This feature allows the administrator to enable or disable the RSTP
RSTP Mode	function. The parameters will be available for configuration after the
	RSTP function is enabled.
	This is the value used to identify the root bridge. The bridge with the
	lowest value has the highest priority and will be selected as the root. If
Priority (0-61440)	this value has been changed, the switch must be rebooted for the new
	settings to be in effect. The value must be multiple of 4096 according to
	the protocol standard.
	This value is the seconds a bridge waits for without receiving spanning
Max Age (6-40)	tree messages before attempting to reconfigure. Enter a value between 6
	and 40.
	This value is the time in seconds that controls when the switch sends out
Hello Time (1-10)	the BPDU packet to check RSTP current status. Enter a value between 1
	and 10.
Forward Delay Time	This value is the time in seconds a port waits for before changing its
	Rapid Spanning Tree protocol learning and listening state to the
(4-30)
	forwarding state. Enter a value between 4 and 30.

After finishing necessary configurations, click on Apply to save the settings.

The administrator must follow the rule to configure the MAX Age, Hello Time, and Forward Delay Time:

2 x (Forward Delay Time value –1) > = Max Age value >= 2 x (Hello Time value +1).
