Spanning Tree Protocol

This chapter introduces the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).

13.1 RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) and STP

(Spanning Tree Protocol)

RSTP adds rapid reconfiguration capability to STP. The switch supports RSTP

and the earlier STP. RSTP and STP detect and break network loops and provide

backup links between switches, bridges or routers. They allow a device to

interact with other RSTP or STP-aware devices in your network to ensure that

only one path exists between any two stations on the ne twork. The switch uses

RSTP by default but can still interoperate with STP switches

(although without RSTP's benefits).

The root bridge is the base of the spanning tree; it is the bridg e with the lowest

identifier value

(MAC address). Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame onto a LAN through

that port. It is assigned according to the speed of the link to which a port is

attached. The slower the media, the higher the cost - see the following table.

Table 33 STP Path Costs

LINK SPEED RECOMMENDED VALUE RECOMMENDED RANGE ALLOWED

RANGE

Path Cost 4Mbps 250 100 to 1000 1 to 65535

Path Cost 10Mbps 100 50 to 600 1 to 65535

Path Cost 16Mbps 62 40 to 400 1 to 65535

Path Cost 100Mbps 19 10 to 60 1 to 65535

Path Cost 1Gbps 4 3 to 10 1 to 65535

Path Cost 10Gbps 2 1 to 5 1 to 65535

On each bridge, the root port is the port through which this bridge communicates

with the root. It is the port on this switch with the lowest path cost to the root (the

root path cost). If there is no root port, then this switch has been accepted as the

root bridge of the spanning tree network.

For each LAN segment, a designated bridge is selected. This bridge has the

lowest cost to the root among the bridges connected to the LAN.
