2.1.10 RSTP
The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is IEEE 802.1d standardized method for avoiding loops in switched
networks. Enable STP to ensure that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the network.
The Rapid-Spanning-Tree-Protocol (RSTP) is a more advanced protocol than STP according to IEEE 802.1w
standard. RSTP can shorten spanning tree convergent time while network topology is changed. A default
diagram is shown below .
