Spanning Tree Protocol
13.1 Overview
The Switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) as defined in the following standards.
•IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol
•IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
•IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
The Switch also allows you to set up multiple STP configurations (or trees). Ports can then be assigned to the trees.
13.1.1What You Can Do
•Use the Spanning Tree Protocol status screen (Section 13.2 on page 127) to view the STP status in the different STP modes (RSTP, MRSTP or MSTP) you can configure on the Switch.
•Use the Spanning Tree Configuration screen (Section 13.3 on page 127) to activate one of the STP modes on the Switch.
•Use the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol screen (Section 13.4 on page 128) to configure RSTP settings.
•Use the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Status screen (Section 13.5 on page 130) to display the status screen as shown next.
•Use the Multiple Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol screen (Section 13.6 on page 132) to configure MRSTP.
•Use the Multiple Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Status screen (Section 13.7 on page 134) to view the MRSTP status.
•Use the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol screen (Section 13.8 on page 136) to configure MSTP.
•Use the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Status screen (Section 13.9 on page 139) to view the MSTP status.
