Redundancy protocol – RSTP

The Lynx switch support the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) according to 
IEEE802.1w with fallback to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP - IEEE802.1D).   
The STP fallback feature means that the Lynx switches can be used together  
with switches that only have support for STP.
For more information on RSTP, please read the Whitepaper found on the enclosed Lynx CD
or at the Westermo website.
Available options are:
Bridge Prio

The switch with the lowest priority will become the root switch.

Dynamic 

Dynamic trunking is enabled when RSTP is used in a VLAN to 
eliminate failure 

Trunking 

due to an incorrectly configured VLAN. If every unit in the ring has 
enabled Dynamic trunking, all VLANs will be granted access on the 
ring.

Edge Ports

Selection of edge ports for RSTP.

Disable RSTP

This option disables RSTP.

Click the "Apply" button to confirm changes made to the Redundancy Protocol settings.
