Configuring The Rapid Spanning Tree - Hirschmann RS20 User Manual

Spanning Tree
Note: The drawback for this fast reconfiguration is the possibility that data
packets may be duplicated or their sequence be altered during the
reconfiguration phase. If this is unacceptable for your application, use the
slower Spanning Tree Protocol or select one of the other, faster redundancy
procedures described in this manual.

Configuring the Rapid Spanning Tree

Set up the network to meet your demands.
Note: Before you connect the redundant lines, you must complete the
configuration of the RSTP.
You thus avoid loops during the configuration phase.
For devices with DIP switches, you switch these to "deactivated"
(both to ON), so that the software configuration is not restricted.
Select the Redundancy:Rapid Spanning Tree:Global dialog.
