Spanning Tree Protocol
13.1 Spanning Tree Protocol Overview
The Switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) as defined in the following standards.
• IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
The Switch also allows you to set up multiple STP configurations (or trees). Ports can then be
assigned to the trees.
13.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the
Spanning Tree Protocol
Status
screen (
) to view the STP
status in the different STP modes (RSTP, MRSTP or MSTP) you can configure on the Switch.
• Use the
Spanning Tree Configuration
screen (
) to activate one of the
STP modes on the Switch.
• Use the
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
screen (
) to configure RSTP
settings.
• Use the
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Status
screen (
) to view
the RSTP status.
• Use the
Multiple Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
) to
configure MRSTP.
• Use the
Multiple Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Status
to view the MRSTP status.
• Use the
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
screen (
MSTP.
• Use the
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Status
screen (
the MSTP status.
13.1.2 What You Need to Know
Read on for concepts on STP that can help you configure the screens in this chapter.
(Rapid) Spanning Tree Protocol
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or
routers. It allows a switch to interact with other (R)STP -compliant switches in your network to
ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network.
