Secondly I know the RSTP (is open standard IEEE) and Rapid-PVST+ (property Cisco) and have: state port: discard, learning, forwardnig, role port: root, designated, alternate, backup Firstly …

The change to make a port a shared port instead of point-to-point affects convergence when using RSTP. On point-to-point links, when a port is first assigned a root port or designated port role, …

RSTP= 1 x 802.1w fast, still one instance, no load balancing RPVST+= n x RSTP fast, CPU intensive, load balancing. more chatty than MSTP MST= k x RSTP where K < number of …

With RSTP when learning new changes in the topology it does not follow the original STP time of 50 seconds (20 max age, 15 listening, 15 learning). The convergence time in RSTP is almost …

RSTP convergence time is proportional to the number of nodes and could be kept to the order of milliseconds in small topologies of 3 switches (e.g. distribution-access block).

Hi, Both OSPF and RSTP provide sub-second convergence, but when designing routed access network where the links between the access switches and distribution switches are L3, then …

I wanted to see the different port roles & port states when I configured RSTP from IEEE STP.

The concept of "pure" RSTP is a misapplication of the technology. 802.1w was introduced along with 802.1s. So it's PART of MSTP (or MISTP if you look at older docs, or MST if you look at …

RSTP keeps the PortFast concept for familiarity. And this The Cisco implementation maintains that the PortFast keyword be used for edge port configuration. So PortFast didn't go anywhere …
