Spanning Tree Protocol Concepts

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides a tree topology for a bridged LAN. STP also

provides one path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops. The smart switch

supports Classic Spanning Tree (STP, 802.1d) and Rapid STP (RSTP, 802.1w).

RSTP supports full-duplex connectivity. While STP can take 30 to 50 seconds to respond to a

topology change, RSTP typically responds to changes within a few seconds. RSTP can

revert to 802.1d to interoperate with legacy bridges on a per-port basis. In that situation, the

benefits of RSTP are lost.

Configure the Global STP Options and View the STP

Status

The global STP options include enabling STP, selecting STP or RSTP as the mode, and

enabling bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) flooding either for all ports and LAGs or for a

specific port or LAG.
