2.
As indicated above, one of the benefits of RSTP is the implementation of a
larger range of port path costs that accommodates higher network speeds.
New default values have been implemented for path costs associated with
the different network speeds. This may create incompatibility between
devices running the older implementations of STP a switch running RSTP.
3.
At any given time, the software can support either STP or RSTP but not both.
