– Disable — Indicates that RSTP is disabled on the port.
• Point-to-Point Admin Status — Indicates if a point-to-point links is established, or permits the
device to establish a point-to-point link. The possible field values are:
– Enable — Enables the device to establish a point-to-point link, or specifies for the device to
automatically establish a point-to-point link. To establish communications over a point-to-
point link, the originating PPP first sends Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets to configure
and test the data link. After a link is established and optional facilities are negotiated as
needed by the LCP, the originating PPP sends Network Control Protocols (NCP) packets to
select and configure one or more network layer protocols. When each of the chosen network
layer protocols has been configured, packets from each network layer protocol can be sent
over the link. The link remains configured for communications until explicit LCP or NCP
packets close the link, or until some external event occurs. This is the actual switch port link
type. It may differ from the administrative state.
– Disable — Disables point-to-point link.
• Point-to-Point Operational Status — Indicates the Point-to-Point operating state.
• Activate Protocol Migration Test— Runs a Protocol Migration Test. The test sends Link Control
Protocol (LCP) packets to test if a data link is enabled.
3. Define the relevant fields.
4. Click Apply. The Rapid Spanning Tree Settings are modified, and the device is updated.
