Page 57: Spanning Tree
802.1d STP will be familiar to most networking professionals. However, since 802.1w RSTP and 802.1s MSTP has been recently introduced to D-Link managed Ethernet switches, a brief introduction to the technology is provided below followed by a description of how to set up 802.1d STP, 802.1w RSTP and 802.1s MSTP.
Page 58: Port Transition States
DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch User Manual Port Transition States An essential difference between the three protocols is in the way ports transition to a forwarding state and in the way this transition relates to the role of the port (forwarding or not forwarding) in the topology. MSTP and RSTP combine the transition states disabled, blocking and listening used in 802.1d and creates a single state Discarding.
Page 59: Stp Loopback Detection
DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch User Manual STP Loopback Detection When connected to other switches, STP is an important configuration in consistency for delivering packets to ports and can greatly improve the throughput of your switch.

DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch User Manual Appendix B Upgrading Instructions for Release 3 Firmware (R3.00-B29) For firmware release R3.00-B29, certain guidelines must be followed for proper installation of line cards and their appropriate firmware. Failing to follow these rules may result in inoperability of the switch or installed line cards.
Page 296: Upgrading To R3.00-B29
Firmware Filenames For the xStack DES-6500 chassis switch and associated line cards, there are two different Runtime Code filenames which must be correctly specified when upgrading either the CPU or the line cards. A capital S in the firmware filename (6500rS_3.00-B29.had) indicates the firmware is for the line card only, while a capital U (6500rU_3.00-B29.had) indicates...
