Spanning Tree (STP) is a loop avoidance protocol. If you don't have loops in your network, you 
don't need STP. The "safe" option is always to leave STP enabled. Failure to do so on a network 
with a loop (or a network where someone inadvertently plugs the wrong cable into the wrong 
ports) will lead to a complete cessation of all traffic. Rapid Spanning Tree is a fast-converging 
protocol, faster than the earlier STP, that enables new ports much faster (sub-second) than the 
older protocol. Rapid Spanning Tree works with all Avaya equipment, and can be 
recommended. 

Rapid Spanning Tree is set using the P330 Stack Processor command line interface.

1. Open a telnet session on the P330 Stack Processor.

2. At the P330-x(super)# prompt, type set spantree help and press Enter to display the 

set spantree commands selection.

3. To enable Spanning Tree, type set spantree enable and press Enter.

4. To set the rapid spanning tree version, type set spantree version 

 and press Enter.

The 802.1w standard defines differently the default path cost for a port compared to STP 
(802.1d). In order to avoid network topology change when migrating to RSTP, the STP path 
cost is preserved when changing the spanning tree version to RSTP. You can use the 
default RSTP port cost by typing the CLI command set port spantree cost auto.

Note:

Avaya P330 Stack Processors now support a "Faststart" or "Portfast" function, 
because the 802.1w standard defined it. An edge port is a port that goes to a 
device that cannot form a network loop. 
To set an edge-port, type set port edge admin state module/port 
edgeport

.
