4.8 Rapid Spanning Tree
The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree
Protocol and provides the faster spanning tree convergence after the topology change.
The system also supports STP and the system will auto detect the connected device
that is running STP or RSTP protocol.
4.8.1 RSTP System Configuration
„ System Priority: The bridge with the lowest value has the highest priority and is
selected as the root whenever the value is changed, the system must be rebooted
for assigning the priority number of paths. The value must be multiple of 4096
according to the protocol standard rule.
„ Hello Time (1-10): The scale of 1~10 sec will be set as a period of time that how
often the switch broadcasts hello messages to other switches
„ Max Age (6-40): The number of seconds (from 6~ 40) which determines the
amount of time that protocol information received on a port is stored by the switch.
„ Forward Delay Time (4-30): The number of seconds (from 4 ~ 30) which
determines how long each of the listening and learning states will last before the
port begins forwarding.
„ Force version: Select the RSTP default protocol. Normal means RSTP protocol.
Compatible means compatible with STP protocol.
