5.14 RSTP Configuration

The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol

and provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change. The system

also supports STP and the system will auto-detect the connected device that is running

STP or RSTP protocol.

5.14.1 System Configuration

1. The Root Bridge information of Spanning Tree is for viewing.

2. Modify RSTP state. After modifying, select

 RSTP mode: enables RSTP function before configuring the related parameters

 Priority (0-61440): a value used to identify the root bridge. The bridge with the

lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the root. If the values

change, user has to reboot the switch. The value must be a multiple of 4096

according to the protocol standard rule.

 Max Age (6-40): the number of seconds a bridge waits without receiving

Spanning-tree Protocol configuration messages before attempting a

reconfiguration. Enter a value between 6 through 40.

 Hello Time (1-10): the time that controls the switch and sends out the BPDU

packet to check RSTP current status. Enter a value between 1 through 10.

 Forward Delay Time (4-30): the number of seconds that a port waits before

changing from its Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol learning and listening states to

the forwarding state. Enter a value between 4 through 30.
