STP/RSTP Configuration
About This Chapter
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) trims a ring network into a loop-free tree network. It prevents
replication and circular propagation of packets, provides multiple redundant paths for virtual
LAN (VLAN) data traffic, and enables load balancing. The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP) was developed based on STP to implement faster convergence. RSTP defines edge ports
and provides protection functions.
