CHAPTER 16 Spanning Tree Protocol The switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) as defined in the following standards. • IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol • IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol The switch also allows you to set up multiple STP configurations (or trees). Ports can then be assigned to the trees. 16.1 STP/RSTP Overview (R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other (R)STP -compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network. The switch uses IEEE 802.1w RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) that allows faster convergence of the spanning tree than STP (while also being backwards compatible with STPonly aware bridges). In RSTP, topology change information is directly propagated throughout the network from the device that generates the topology change. In STP, a longer delay is required as the device that causes a topology change first notifies the root bridge that then notifies the network. Both RSTP and STP flush unwanted learned addresses from the filtering database. In RSTP, the port states are Discarding, Learning, and Forwarding. " In this user's guide, "STP" refers to both STP and RSTP. 16.1.1 STP Terminology The root bridge is the base of the spanning tree. MS-7206 User's Guide 95

Spanning Tree Protocol

The switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

as defined in the following standards.

•

IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol

•

IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

The switch also allows you to set up multiple STP configurations (or trees). Ports can then be

assigned to the trees.

16.1

STP/RSTP Overview

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches,

bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other (R)STP -compliant switches in your

network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network.

The switch uses IEEE 802.1w RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) that allows faster

convergence of the spanning tree than STP (while also being backwards compatible with STP-

only aware bridges). In RSTP, topology change information is directly propagated throughout

the network from the device that generates the topology change. In STP, a longer delay is

required as the device that causes a topology change first notifies the root bridge that then

notifies the network. Both RSTP and STP flush unwanted learned addresses from the filtering

database. In RSTP, the port states are Discarding, Learning, and Forwarding.

In this user’s guide, “STP” refers to both STP and RSTP.

16.1.1

STP Terminology

The root bridge is the base of the spanning tree.
