Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
Overview
The Dell Force10 operating software (FTOS) implementation of the rapid spanning tree protocol 
(RSTP) is based on the IEEE 802.1w standard spanning-tree protocol. The RSTP algorithm configures 
connectivity throughout a bridged local area network (LAN) that is comprised of LANs interconnected 
by bridges.
Commands
The FTOS RSTP commands are:
• bridge-priority
• debug spanning-tree rstp
• description
• forward-delay
• hello-time
• max-age
• edge-port bpdufilter default
• protocol spanning-tree rstp
• show config
• show spanning-tree rstp
• spanning-tree rstp
• tc-flush-standard
bridge-priority 
Set the bridge priority for RSTP.
Syntax
bridge-priority priority-value 
To return to the default value, use the no bridge-priority command.
Parameters
 
Defaults
32768
priority-value
Enter a number as the bridge priority value in increments of 4096. 
Range: 0 to 61440
Default: 32768
