Defining STP LAG Settings Using CLI Commands
The following table contains the CLI commands for defining STP LAG settings.
The following is an example of the CLI commands:
Defining Rapid Spanning Tree
While the classic spanning tree prevents Layer 2 forwarding loops on a general network topology,
convergence can take 30-60 seconds. The delay allows time to detect possible loops, and propagate
status changes.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) detects and uses network topologies that allow a faster
convergence of the spanning tree, without creating forwarding loops.
