Netgear FS526Tv2 - 24-Port Smart Switch with Gigabit Ports Guia Do Utilizador

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides a tree topology for a bridged LAN. STP also 
provides one path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops. The smart switch 
supports Classic Spanning Tree (STP, 802.1d) and Rapid STP (RSTP, 802.1w).

RSTP supports full-duplex connectivity. While STP can take 30 to 50 seconds to respond to a 
topology change, RSTP typically responds to changes within a few seconds. RSTP can 
revert to 802.1d to interoperate with legacy bridges on a per-port basis. In that situation, the 
benefits of RSTP are lost.

The global STP options include enabling STP, selecting STP or RSTP as the mode, and 
enabling bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) flooding either for all ports and LAGs or for a 
specific port or LAG.
