Hi
Can someone please explain how to enable RSTP in the switch (Let's say in 2950 switch).
Or do you have RSTP running in now-a-days switches?
Thanks in advance!
Chris.
Hi Chris,
The command to enable it is "spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
This and other config requirements for RSTP are documented here:

This link no longer works.
Cisco switches by default run PVST+ (Per VLAN Spanning Tree+) which is compatible with 802.1d STP. Most newer switches support PVST+, Rapid-PVST+ & MST. With IOS-based switches you can check what version you are running with the command 'show spanning-tree summary':
switch#
To change the STP mode use the global configuration command 'spanning-tree mode XXX':
