RSTP Configuration
Example
Networking Requirements
In the following scenario, Switch C serves as a standby of Switch B and forwards
data when a fault occurs on Switch B. They are connected to each other with two
links, so that, in case one of the links fails, the other one can still work normally.
Switch D through Switch F are directly connected with the downstream user
computers and they are connected to Switch C and Switch B with uplink ports.
You can configure RSTP on the Switch B through Switch F to meet these
requirements.
Only the configurations related to RSTP are listed in the following procedure.
Switch A serves as the root. Switch D through Switch F are configured in same
way basically, so only the RSTP configuration on Switch D will be introduced.
