11.1.3 STP Port States
STP assigns five port states to eliminate packet looping. A bridge port is not allowed to go
directly from blocking state to forwarding state so as to eliminate transient loops.
11.1.4 Multiple RSTP
MRSTP (Multiple RSTP) is ZyXEL’s proprietary feature that is compatible with RSTP and
STP. With MRSTP, you can have more than one spanning tree on your Switch and assign
port(s) to each tree. Each spanning tree operates independently with its own bridge
information.
In the following example, there are two RSTP instances (
MRSTP 1 and MRSTP2 ) on switch
A .
To set up MRSTP, activate MRSTP on the Switch and specify which port(s) belong to which
spanning tree.
"
Each port can belong to one STP tree only.
