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 Force10 systems, as indicated by the

characters that appear below each command heading: C-Series:

c, E-Series: e,

S-Series: s, , or .

Commands

The FTOS 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
