BPDU exchanges also facilitate the election of a root bridge and root port for the
network. The root bridge provides a reference point that each other bridge uses to
calculate a lowest-cost path by summing the cost of the ports in each path and
choosing the one with the lowest total. The port that connects a bridge to the
lowest-cost path is called the bridge’s root port.

choosing the one with the lowest total. The port that connects a bridge to the
lowest-cost path is called the bridge’s root port.
When the root bridge is selected and each root port is established, each network
segment can then determine which bridge provides the lowest cost path to the
root port. The port that provides this path is named the designated port for the
network segment. Spanning tree disables other ports for that network segment or
designates them as alternate or backup ports.

RSTP (IEEE 802.1D-2004 or IEEE 802.1w) provides protocol enhancements
that enable a network to more quickly achieve an optimal STP topology.

MSTP (IEEE 802.1Q-2005 or IEEE 802.1s) supports multiple instances of
Spanning Tree to efficiently channel VLAN traffic over different interfaces.
Each instance of the Spanning Tree behaves in the manner specified in
Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), with some modifications. An MSTP bridge can
be configured to behave entirely as a RSTP bridge or a STP bridge.

Configuring STP Status and Global Settings
You can use the STP Status & Global Settings page to enable STP, select the STP
mode of operation, and configure bridge priority settings. You can also view status
information about the STP topology. To display this page, click Spanning Tree >
STP Status & Global Settings in the navigation window.
