STP has the following different port states:
Listening
l
Learning
l
Blocking
l
Forwarding
l
A listening port is either a designated or a root port, and is in the process of moving to the forwarding state. However, after the port is in the forwarding
state, there is no way to determine whether the port is a root or designated port. The RSTP addresses this problem by decoupling the port's role and its state.
Use the Spanning Tree Global Settings page to enable RSTP.
