PTP Transparent Clock

REASON SWITCHES-TM-EN-3
All ports are configured as Auto-edge;
o
All ports are configured related to point-to-point connection as
o
Auto;
For the architecture given above, all switches are STP-aware, so no BPDU guard
function would be required.
With information given above, it is possible to go to the Settings
Bridge Settings menu to start configuration process. The configuration of the
Spanning Tree should be as follows:
At this situation, the only configuration needed to be done is changing Protocol
Version to RSTP. Protocol itself will choose root bridge, designated, root, alternate and
backup ports and could deal with the loops at the network in a RSTP environment.
If there is one specific bridge that is desired to be the root, choose the lowest Bridge
Priority to that bridge and then configuration is done.
Repeat this steps on all switches at the topology, and after all of them are configured,
configuration of basic RSTP usage will be finished.
Consider the situation given in the figure below.
