6.13.1. STP/RSTP

6.13.1.1. Introduction

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges
or routers. It allows a Switch to interact with other (R)STP compliant switches in your network
to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network.
The Switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
as defined in the following standards.

IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol

IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
The Switch uses IEEE 802.1w RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) that allows faster
convergence of the spanning tree than STP (while also being backwards compatible with STP-
only aware bridges). In RSTP, topology change information is directly propagated throughout
the network from the device that generates the topology change. In STP, a longer delay is required
as the device that causes a topology change first notifies the root bridge and then the root bridge
