13.1.3 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.
13.1.4 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.
