Enable Rstp (Only For Ipbl); Deactivate Lan Port (Only For Ipbl) - Avaya IPBS1 Installation And Operation Manual

Enable RSTP (only for IPBL)

The RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) function is provided for IPBLs connected to a
redundant bridged network when an IPBL must stay operational even if a network port or a
bridge in the network fails. If RSTP is enabled LAN1 is assumed to be the primary port and
LAN2 the backup port. RSTP packets are sent over both ports. From received RSTP packets it
is learned which port shall be used for data traffic. The port to be used for data traffic may
change whenever the network topology changes, i.e. when a link between bridges goes down
or up or a bridge is added. On each such change the IP stack is moved to the selected port
without disruption of data traffic.
Before RSTP can be enabled the following preconditions must be met:
The bridges in the network should support RSTP.
l
LAN1 and LAN2 should be connected to RSTP enabled bridge ports.
l
LAN1 and LAN2 should be connected to different bridges.
