Enabling the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

To enable RSTP on the switch, use the SPANNING-TREE RSTP ENABLE
command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# spanning-tree rstp enable

After you enter the command, the switch immediately begins to participate
in the spanning tree domain. It sends BPDUs from its ports and disables
ports if it determines, along with the other STP and RSTP devices, that
there are loops in the network topology.
