4.7.2 RSTP System Configuration
This page allows you to configure RSTP system settings. The settings are used by all RSTP Bridge instances in the switch.
The Web Smart Gigabit Switch support the following Spanning Tree protocols:
‧ Compatiable -- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): Provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and
eliminating loops.
‧ Normal -- Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) : Detects and uses of network topologies that provide faster
spanning tree convergence, without creating forwarding loops.
The GSW-1602SF/GSW-2404SF implement the Rapid Spanning Protocol as the default spanning tree
protocol. While select “Compatibles” mode, the system use the RSTP (802.1w) to compatible and co
work with another STP (802.1d)’s BPDU control packets.
This page is to enable/disable the Spanning Tree protocol. The Web Smart Gigabit Switch support IEEE 802.1D Spanning
Tree (STP), IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP). The screen in Figure 4-56 appears.
