Section IV: Spanning Tree Protocols 493
Enabling or Disabling a Spanning Tree Protocol
The AT-S62 software supports STP, RSTP, and MSTP. (MSTP is
explained in Chapter 23 on page 507.) Only one spanning tree protocol
can be active on the switch at a time. Before you can configure or enable a
spanning tree protocol, you must first select it as the active spanning tree
protocol on the switch. After you have selected it as the active protocol,
you can then configure it and enable or disable it.
To select and activate a spanning tree protocol, or to disable spanning
tree, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 3 to select Spanning Tree Configuration.
The Spanning Tree Configuration menu is shown in Figure 163.
Figure 163. Spanning Tree Configuration Menu
Note
Do not enable spanning tree on the switch until after you have
selected an activate spanning tree protocol and configured the
settings. To disable spanning tree, go to Step 5.
2. To change the active version of spanning tree on the switch, type 2 to
select Active Protocol Version.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter new value (S-STP, R-RSTP, M-MSTP):
3. Type S to select STP, R to select RSTP, or M to select MSTP.
Note
A change to the active spanning tree is automatically saved on the
switch.
