Command Usage
• Spanning Tree Protocol
Uses RSTP for the internal state machine, but sends only 802.1D
BPDUs. This creates one spanning tree instance for the entire network.

specific VLAN members may be inadvertently disabled to prevent
network loops, thus isolating group members.
• Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
RSTP supports connections to either STP or RSTP nodes by
monitoring the incoming protocol messages and dynamically adjusting
