COMMAND USAGE
â—† Spanning Tree Protocol
1
Uses RSTP for the internal state machine, but sends only 802.1D
BPDUs. This creates one spanning tree instance for the entire network.
If multiple VLANs are implemented on a network, the path between
specific VLAN members may be inadvertently disabled to prevent
network loops, thus isolating group members. When operating multiple
VLANs, we recommend selecting the MSTP option.
â—† Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
1
RSTP supports connections to either STP or RSTP nodes by monitoring
the incoming protocol messages and dynamically adjusting the type of
protocol messages the RSTP node transmits, as described below:
1. STP and RSTP BPDUs are transmitted as untagged frames, and will cross any VLAN
boundaries.
