To verify that RSTP is enabled, use the show config command from PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP
mode (Figure 27-3).
Figure 27-3. Verifying RSTP is Enabled
When you enable RST, all physical and port-channel interfaces that are enabled and in Layer 2 mode are
automatically part of the RST topology (Figure 27-4).
• Only one path from any bridge to any other bridge is enabled.
• Bridges block a redundant path by disabling one of the link ports.
