+ <group title="Rapid Spanning Tree Configuration">
+ In IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition, and prior editions of this standard,
+ Clause 8 specified the spanning tree algorithm and protocol (STP).9 STP
+ has now been superseded by the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
+ specified in Clause 17 of the IEEE Std 802.1D, 2004 Edition.
+ The IEEE 802.1D-2004 Rapid Spanning Tree Algorithm Protocol configures
+ full, simple, and symmetric connectivity throughout a Bridged Local Area
+ Network that comprises individual LANs interconnected by Bridges.
+ Like STP, RSTP is a network protocol that ensures loop-free topologies.
+ It allows redundant links to be included in the network to provide
+ automatic backup paths if the active links fails.
+
+ <column name="rstp_enable">
+ Enable Rapid Spanning Tree on the bridge. By default, RSTP is disabled
+ on bridges. Bond, internal, and mirror ports are not supported
+ and will not participate in the spanning tree.
