Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

Overview

The FTOS 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 FTOS on all Dell Networking systems. The symbols

s z under command

headings indicate which Dell Networking — , S-Series or Z-Series, respectively — support

the command.

Commands

The FTOS RSTP commands are:

• bridge-priority

• debug spanning-tree rstp

• description

• disable

• forward-delay

• hello-time

• max-age

• protocol spanning-tree rstp

• show config

• show spanning-tree rstp

• spanning-tree rstp

• tc-flush-standard

bridge-priority

Set the bridge priority for RSTP.

Syntax

bridge-priority priority-value

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