RSTP mode:
The user must enable the RSTP function first before configuring

to check RSTP current status.
Enter a value between 1 through 10.
Forward Delay Time (4-30):
The number of seconds a port waits before changing from its
Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol learning and listening states to
the forwarding state.
Enter a value between 4 through 30.
NOTE: Follow the rule as below to configure the MAX Age, Hello Time, and Forward
Delay Time.
2 x (Forward Delay Time value -1) > = Max Age value >= 2 x (Hello Time value +1).
Port Configuration
This web page provides the port configuration interface for RSTP. You can assign
higher or lower priority to each port. Rapid spanning tree will have the port with the
higher priority in forwarding state and block other ports to make certain that there is
no loop in the LAN.
