Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

Overview

The Dell Networking OS implementation of RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is based on the

IEEE 802.1w standard spanning-tree protocol. The RSTP algorithm configures connectivity

throughout a bridged LAN that is comprised of LANs interconnected by bridges.

RSTP is supported by Dell Networking OS on all Dell Networking systems, as indicated by the

characters that appear below each command heading:

• C-Series:

• E-Series: e

• S-Series: s

Commands

The Dell Networking OS RSTP commands are:

• bridge-priority

• debug spanning-tree rstp

• description

• forward-delay

• hello-time

• max-age

• protocol spanning-tree rstp

• show config

• show spanning-tree rstp

• spanning-tree rstp

• tc-flush-standard

bridge-priority

c e s

Set the bridge priority for RSTP.

Syntax

bridge-priority priority-value

To return to the default value, enter no bridge-priority.
