Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
The Dell Networking OS implementation of rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) is based on the IEEE 802.1w standard spanning-
tree protocol. The RSTP algorithm configures connectivity throughout a bridged local area network (LAN) that is comprised of
LANs interconnected by bridges.
Dell Networking OS supports RSTP.
