Figure 7-38. Spanning Tree Global Settings The STP Global Settings page contains the following fields: • Spanning Tree Status - Enables or disables RSTP, STP, or MSTP on the switch. • STP Operation Mode - Specifies the STP mode by which STP is enabled on the switch. Possible field values are: Classic STP, Rapid STP, and Multiple STP. • BPDU Flooding - Specifies Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) packet handling when the spanning tree is disabled on an interface. The possible field values are Enable or Disable. The default value is Disable. • Port Fast - Enables Port Fast mode for all ports on the switch when checked. If Port Fast mode is enabled for a port, the Port State is automatically placed in the Forwarding state when the port link is up. Port Fast mode optimizes the time it takes for the STP protocol to converge. STP convergence can take 30-60 seconds in large networks. • Port Fast BPDU Filter - Specifies BPDU Filter Mode on all ports which are enabled for Port Fast Mode. Possible values are Enable and Disable. The default value is Disable. • Loop Guard - Enables or disables Loop Guard on all the ports. Configuring Switching Information 343
