13.1 Overview

The Switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) as defined in the following
standards.
• IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
The Switch also allows you to set up multiple STP configurations (or trees). Ports
can then be assigned to the trees.

13.2 What You Can Do

• Use the Spanning Tree Protocol status screen
view the STP status in the different STP modes (RSTP, MRSTP or MSTP) you can
configure on the Switch.
• Use the Spanning Tree Configuration screen
activate one of the STP modes on the Switch.
• Use the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol screen
configure RSTP settings.
• Use the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Status screen
124) to display the status screen as shown next.
• Use the Multiple Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol screen
page 126) to configure MRSTP.
• Use the Multiple Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol Status screen
on page 128) to view the MRSTP status.
• Use the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol screen
to configure MSTP.
• Use the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Status screen
page 133) to view the MSTP status.
