SPANNING TREE 
CONFIGURATION 
MENU
Used to select the Spanning Tree Configuration and Spanning Tree 
Port Configuration screens. These screens are used for the following 
functions:
Create a separate Spanning Tree topology for each VLAN 
configured in the switch module. This type of Spanning is referred 
to as Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST). 
Configure the switch for Rapid Reconvergence Spanning Tree, 
which provides faster topology changes, provides less transitioning 
time to the forwarding state when the switch module boots, 
compatible with PVST, and backwards compatible with traditional 
IEEE 802.1D.
Enable or disable Spanning Tree on a per port/per VLAN basis.
