adjusting the type of protocol messages the RSTP node transmits, as
described below:
- STP Mode – If the switch receives an 802.1D BPDU after a port’s
migration delay timer expires, the switch assumes that it is
connected to an 802.1D bridge and starts using only 802.1D
BPDUs.
- RSTP Mode – If RSTP is using 802.1D BPDUs on a port and
receives an RSTP BPDU after the migration delay expires, RSTP
restarts the migration delay timer and begins using RSTP BPDUs
on that port.
Example
The following example configures the switch to use Rapid Spanning Tree.
