Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

In this section:

  1. RSTP Overview
    Beginning with FastIron release 10.0.20a, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) (IEEE IEEE 802.1w) replaces the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) (IEEE 802.1D) standard. RSTP enables faster convergence times than STP. The RSTP is supported on all RUCKUS ICX devices.
