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.
