Rapid Spanning Tree is a service to detect the topology of a network automatically. It is used to
prevent loops which can occur by a cable break or inactive port. The configuration setting is under
Configuration > RSTP
.
If RSTP is activated a new device is reachable in two seconds. In that time the RSTP protocol is
checking if the connection is loop free. As soon as two ports of the Switch are directly or indirectly
(over different switches) connected, the RSTP will block one of the two ports on a logical level.
