DESCRIPTION
You can activate one of the STP modes on the Switch.
Select Rapid Spanning Tree, Multiple Rapid Spanning Tree or Multiple Spanning
Tree. See Section 13.1 on page 115
Select the default path cost method (Short or Long) you want the Switch to use in each
STP mode.
Note: If you select Long, all the switches in your network also need to use the long path
cost method. Otherwise, the spanning tree may not converge properly.
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done
configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
