Configuring Rapid Spanning Tree

The Classic Spanning Tree prevents L2 forwarding loops in a general network topology.
However, convergence can take up to 30-60 seconds. The convergence time is considered
too long for many applications. When network topology allows, faster convergence may be
possible. The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) detects and uses network topologies
that provide faster convergence of the spanning tree without creating forwarding loops.
