Configure Spanning Tree Protocol

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides a tree topology for any arrangement of network
devices. STP also provides one path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops.
STP (also referred to as "classic" STP) provides a single path between end stations, avoiding
and eliminating loops. For information about configuring the global STP settings for the
switch, see Configure the STP settings and view the STP status on page 164.
The switch support the following spanning tree versions:
CST. Common STP. For information on configuring CST, see Configure the CST settings
•
on page 166 and Configure the CST port settings on page 167.
• MSTP. Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP, also referred to as MST) supports
multiple instances of spanning tree to efficiently channel VLAN traffic over different
interfaces. For information on configuring MSTP, see Manage the MST settings on
page 172 and Configure and view the port settings for an MST instance on page 175.
• RSTP. Rapid STP. Each instance of the spanning tree behaves in the manner specified in
IEEE 802.1w, Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), with slight modifications in the working but
not the end effect (chief among the effects is the rapid transitioning of the port to the
forwarding state). For information on viewing the RSTP state, see View Rapid STP
Information on page 171.
The difference between the RSTP and the traditional STP (IEEE 802.1D) is the ability to
configure and recognize full-duplex connectivity and ports that are connected to end
