Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

The Dell Networking operating software (FTOS) 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.

FTOS supports RSTP on the Z9000 platform.
