Setting rapid spanning tree on the network
Spanning Tree (STP) is a loop avoidance protocol. If you don't have loops in your network, you
don't need STP. The "safe" option is always to leave STP enabled. Failure to do so on a network
with a loop (or a network where someone inadvertently plugs the wrong cable into the wrong
ports) will lead to a complete cessation of all traffic. Rapid Spanning Tree is a fast-converging
protocol, faster than the earlier STP, that enables new ports much faster (sub-second) than the
older protocol. Rapid Spanning Tree works with all Avaya equipment, and can be
recommended.
Rapid Spanning Tree is set using the P330 stack processor command line interface.
