Activate, Deactivate, Spanning Tree Protocol Version - ABB EDS500 Series Function Manual

Spanning Tree Protocol
protocol secures in a transparent way that only one path is active for packet forwarding
between two nodes of a layer-2 network segment. Redundant connections are identified and
blocked if necessary.

Activate, Deactivate, Spanning Tree Protocol Version

The default value for Spanning Tree protocol on all devices is: <set stp enable>
The default value automatically grants a loop-free operation and avoids network failure There
are commands to deactivate STP on the whole device or on single ports.

With deactivated spanning tree protocol, loops in the network topology will lead to packet
storms, undefined behaviour and consequently network failure.
A deactivated apnning tree protocol can not be reset with a global command.
Example 1: <set stp no enable port1> causes that for Port 1 STP stays deactivated even after
command <set stp enable>.
Example 2: <set stp no enable> causes that for Port 1 STP stays deactivated even after
command <set stp enable port1>.
The spanning tree protocol is backward compatible by design which means that a device
that runs RSTP communicates with devices running STP. In analogy, a device running MSTP
communicates with RSTP devices via RSTP and STP devices with STP.
The default value for STP version is: rstp.
