• Forward Transitions This indicates the number of times the port has changed from the Blocking state to
Forwarding state.

While the classic spanning tree prevents Layer 2 forwarding loops in a general network topology, convergence can take
between 30-60 seconds. This time may delay detecting possible loops, and propagating status topology changes. Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) detects and uses network topologies that allow a faster STP convergence without creating
forwarding loops (refer to figure 4-49).
