(R)STP startup
Startup consists of two parts that must be executed in the specified order:
1
Enable (R)STP on all switches that are to be operated as active (R)STP components in
the network.
2
Connect the switches to form a meshed topology.
5.2.1
Enabling (R)STP on all switches involved
(R)STP can be activated via web-based management, via the SNMP interface, via the serial
interface or via Telnet.
5.2.1.1
Enabling with web-based management
Activate web-based management for the switches, e.g., using the Factory Manager. Switch
to the "General Configuration" menu, then the "User Interfaces" page. Activate the "(Rapid)
Spanning Tree" function under "Redundancy" and confirm by entering your password.
Only create the meshed topology after activating (R)STP.
While learning the network topology, the switch temporarily does not participate in network
communication.
When activating "(Rapid) Spanning Tree/MRP" under "User Interfaces", the redundancy
mechanism is
not
activated. In the WBM menu, the "(Rapid) Spanning Tree/MRP" page -
under which the function can be configured and activated - is enabled.
