Command Usage

Spanning Tree Protocol8

Uses RSTP for the internal state machine, but sends only 802.1D BPDUs. This creates one spanning tree instance for the entire network. If multiple VLANs are implemented on a network, the path between specific VLAN members may be inadvertently disabled to prevent network loops, thus isolating group members. When operating multiple VLANs, we recommend selecting the MSTP option.

8. STP and RSTP BPDUs are transmitted as untagged frames, and will cross any VLAN boundaries.
