Spanning‐tree Protocol
Spanning‐tree Protocol
• To skip this long process, for Pcs, meaning for
ports attached to Pcs Printers … we do the
command :
• Spanning‐tree portfast
• To skip this long process between Switches, :
PVST+ or RSTP
Rapid Spanning‐tree Protocol
• RSTP 802.1w new standard , if you want to

PVSTP, you should change all the network.
• What RSTP does is remember the blocked
ports which now are called alternate ports, so
you don’t need 50 seconds anymore to get
