2.5.8. Rapid Spanning Tree

We provide Both Rapid-Spanning-Tree-Protocol (RSTP) and Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP).
The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a standardized method (IEEE 802.1D) 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. RSTP can

shorten spanning tree convergent time if your network topology changes. For the default, the switch

will use RSTP. If the switch receives a STP’s BPDU, the switch will degrade to STP.
You can enable STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol) using the web management’s switch setting advanced

item, select enable Spanning-Tree Protocol. We recommend that you enable STP on all switches to

ensure a single active path on the network.
1. You can view spanning tree information about the Root Bridge on the following screen:

2. You can view spanning tree status about the switch on the following screen:
