Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Configure Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). RSTP is defined in the IEEE 802.1D-2004
specification and is used to prevent loops in Layer 2 networks, which results in shorter
convergence times than those provided by basic Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
VSTP and RSTP can be configured concurrently. You can selectively configure up to 253
VLANs using VSTP; the remaining VLANs will be configured using RSTP. VSTP and RSTP
are the only spanning-tree protocols that can be configured concurrently on the switch.
See Configuring VSTP (CLI Procedure) for more information on configuring VSTP and
RSTP concurrently.
BEST PRACTICE: Configure RSTP when you configure VSTP. RSTP overhead
is minimal and this configuration ensures that a spanning-tree protocol is
running on all VLANs on your switch, even when your switch is supporting
more than 253 VLANs.
The remaining statements are explained separately.
