Click Apply to update the device. Rapid STP While Classic STP prevents forwarding loops in a general network topology, convergence can take between 30-60 seconds. This time may delay detecting possible loops and propagating status topology changes. Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) detects and uses network topologies that allow a faster STP convergence without creating forwarding loops. The Global System LAG information displays the same field information as the ports, but represents the LAG RSTP information. To define RSTP on the device: 1. Click Switching > STP > Advanced > RSTP.

topology changes. Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) detects and uses network topologies that
allow a faster STP convergence without creating forwarding loops. The Global System LAG

information.
