Setting the spanning tree mode
The spanning tree modes include:
• STP mode—All ports of the device send STP BPDUs. Select this mode when the peer device of a port
supports only STP.
• RSTP mode—All ports of the device send RSTP BPDUs. A port in this mode automatically transits to
the STP mode when it receives STP BPDUs from the peer device. A port in this mode does not transit
to the MSTP mode when it receives MSTP BPDUs from the peer device.
