Defining Rapid Spanning Tree
While the classic spanning tree prevents Layer 2 forwarding loops in a general network topology,
convergence can take between 30-60 seconds. This time may delay detecting possible loops, and
propagating status topology changes. Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) detects and uses network
topologies that allow a faster STP convergence without creating forwarding loops.

The
RSTP Page
contains the following fields:
•
Ports
— Indicates the port number on which RSTP is configured.
•
LAGs
— Indicates the LAG number on which RSTP is configured.
•
Of Unit
— Displays the stacking member for which the RSTP parameters are displayed.
•
Interface
— Displays the port or LAG on which Rapid STP is enabled.
•
Role
— Indicates the port role assigned by the STP algorithm in order to provide to STP paths. The
possible field values are:
–
Root
— Provides the lowest cost path to forward packets to root switch.
–
Designated
— Indicates that the port or LAG via which the designated switch is attached to
the LAN.
