Link type The link type determines how the port behaves in regard to Rapid Spanning Tree. The link type corresponds to the duplex mode of the port. A full-duplex link is point-to-point (p2p), while a half-duplex link should be configured as shared. If you select auto as the link type, the port dynamically configures the link type. RSTP configuration guidelines This section provides important information about configuring Rapid Spanning Tree Groups: • When RSTP is turned on, STP parameters apply only to STP Group 1. • When RSTP is turned on, all VLANs from STP Groups other than STP Group 1 are moved to STP Group 1. The other STP Groups (2-128) are turned off. RSTP configuration example This section provides steps to configure Rapid Spanning Tree on the switch, using the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Browser-based Interface (BBI). Configuring Rapid Spanning Tree (CLI example) 1.
