D-Link DES-3528P [58/260] Stp bridge global settings

DES-3550 Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch

802.1d/802.1w/802.1s Compatibility

MSTP or RSTP can interoperate with legacy equipment and is capable of automatically adjusting BPDU packets to 802.1d

format when necessary. However, any segment using 802.1d STP will not benefit from the rapid transition and rapid

topology change detection of MSTP or RSTP. The protocol also provides for a variable used for migration in the event that

legacy equipment on a segment is updated to use RSTP or MSTP.

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) operates on two levels:

1. On the switch level, the settings are globally implemented.

2. On the port level, the settings are implemented on a per user-defined group of ports basis.
