1. From the Main Menu, type B to select Basic Switch Configuration .
The Basic Switch Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 32.
2. From the Basic Switch Configuration Menu, type S to select Rapid
Spanning Tree Configuration .
The Rapid Spanning Tree Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 38
on page 157.
3. Type V to select Set RSTP Protocol Version .
The following prompt is displayed:
Set RSTP protocol version (S/R)>
4. Type S to make the ports STP-compatible, or R to make the ports
operate only in RSTP mode.
