Configuring No Agreement Check
In RSTP and MSTP, the following types of messages are used for rapid state transition on
designated ports:
•
Proposal—Sent by designated ports to request rapid transition
•
Agreement—Used to acknowledge rapid transition requests
Both RSTP and MSTP devices can perform rapid transition on a designated port only when the port
receives an agreement packet from the downstream device. RSTP and MSTP devices have the
following differences:
•
For MSTP, the root port of the downstream device sends an agreement packet only after it
receives an agreement packet from the upstream device.
•
For RSTP, the downstream device sends an agreement packet whether or not an agreement
packet from the upstream device is received.
