Rapid Spanning Tree
To combine RSTP with MRP, you perform the following steps in sequence:
Configure MRP on all devices in the MRP-Ring.
Activate RSTP at the RSTP ports and also at the MRP-Ring ports.
Configure the RSTP root bridge and the RSTP backup root bridge in the
MRP-Ring:
– Set the priority.
– If you exceed the RSTP diameter specified by the preset value of
Max Age = 20, you modify "Max Age" and "Forward Delay".
Activate RSTP globally.
Activate the MRP compatibility mode.
After configuring all the participating devices, connect the redundant
RSTP connection.
