Configure Spanning Tree Protocol
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides a tree topology for any arrangement of bridges.
STP also provides one path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops. Spanning
tree versions supported include Common STP, Multiple STP, and Rapid STP.
Classic STP provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and eliminating loops. For
information on configuring Common STP, see Configure CST Port Settings on page 153.
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) supports multiple instances of spanning tree to
efficiently channel VLAN traffic over different interfaces. Each instance of the spanning tree
behaves in the manner specified in IEEE 802.1w, Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), with slight
modifications in the working but not the end effect (chief among the effects is the rapid
transitioning of the port to the forwarding state). The difference between the RSTP and the
traditional STP (IEEE 802.1D) is the ability to configure and recognize full-duplex connectivity
and ports that are connected to end stations, resulting in rapid transitioning of the port to the
forwarding state and the suppression of Topology Change Notification. These features are
represented by the parameters pointtopoint and edgeport. MSTP is compatible with both
RSTP and STP. It behaves in a way that is appropriate for STP and RSTP bridges. An MSTP
bridge can be configured to behave entirely as an RSTP bridge or an STP bridge.
Note: For two bridges to be in the same region, the force version must be
802.1s and their configuration names, digest keys, and revision levels
must match. For additional information about regions and their effect
on network topology, refer to the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
Configure STP Settings
The STP Configuration page contains fields for enabling STP on the switch.
 To configure STP settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Change the Default IP Address of the
Switch on page 10.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
