than itself, takes the Switch A as the root bridge and the port that receives the
message as the root port and forwards the proposal message. Then it sends
the Agree message to Switch A through the root port. Upon the receipt of the
proposal message, Switch A will forward the message through its designated
port. After that, Switch sends the proposal message through the designated port
to extend the spanning tree in turn. In theory, the RSTP protocol can
immediately restore the tree-type network structure to implement rapid
convergence when the network topology changes.

―Point-to-point Connection‖ between ports is required for the above
―handshaking‖ process. In order to make full use of you device, do not use
non-point-to-point connection between devices.
Other than Figure 9, other schematics in this chapter are the point-to-point
connection. The following lists the example figure of the non point-to-point
connection.
