Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (IEEE 802.1w)

 Gives you a way to configure redundant paths,

yet maintain only one active path between two
devices
 RSTP monitors the status of all paths
 If an active path goes down, RSTP activates a
redundant path
 It then reconfigures the network
topology accordingly
 Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an
enhanced Spanning Tree Protocol feature
