SPANNING - TREE FORWARD - TIME

restarts the migration delay timer and begins using RSTP BPDUs
on that port.
• Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
- To allow multiple spanning trees to operate over the network, you
must configure a related set of bridges with the same MSTP
configuration, allowing them to participate in a specific set of
spanning tree instances.
- A spanning tree instance can exist only on bridges that have
compatible VLAN instance assignments.
- Be careful when switching between spanning tree modes.
Changing modes stops all spanning-tree instances for the previous
mode and restarts the system in the new mode, temporarily
disrupting user traffic.
Example
The following example configures the switch to use Rapid Spanning Tree:
