What is rapid Pvst mode?

Rapid per VLAN Spanning Tree (Rapid PVST+) is an updated implementation of STP that allows you to create one spanning tree topology for each VLAN. Rapid PVST+ is the default STP mode on the switch.

What is the difference between PVST+ and rapid PVST+?

Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+)—PVST+ is a Cisco enhancement of STP that provides a separate 802.1D spanning-tree instance for each VLAN configured in the network. Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)—RSTP is defined in IEEE 802.1w. It is an evolution of STP that provides faster convergence than STP.

Is rapid Pvst compatible with RSTP?

Re: Rapid PVST+ support This is a Cisco proprietary protocol on Catalyst/Nexus switches that is compatible with spanning tree (802.1D) and RSTP (802.1w).

How do I enable Pvst+?

We will do the below configuration steps for our PVST+ Configuration on Cisco Packet Tracer.

  1. Defining VLANs on the swithes (VLAN 1,2,3,4)
  2. Setting all switch interfaces as Trunk and se tthe allowed VLANs.
  3. Setting STP Mode as PVST+
  4. Setting VLANs in STP Topology (VLAN 1,2,3,4)
  5. Verification.
  6. PVST+ Manuplation Commands.

Why would you use rapid Pvst+ instead of Pvst+?

Rapid PVST+ (Rapid Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus) Again, it has an instance for each VLAN and each VLAN has a separate STP process. It has a faster convergence advantage if we compare it with PVST+. Beside, PVST+ (Rapid Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus) need more CPU and memory resources than PVST+. RPVST+ has four states.

How do I enable RSTP?

To enable RSTP globally for all Layer 2 interfaces, use the following commands. Enter configuration level on the switch. Set the spanning tree protocol type. Turns RSTP on globally for the switch.

What is RSTP convergence time?

RSTP was designed to be backwards-compatible with standard STP. While STP can take 30 to 50 seconds to respond to a topology change, RSTP is typically able to respond to changes within 3 × Hello times (default: 3 times 2 seconds) or within a few milliseconds of a physical link failure.

What is the default bridge ID priority for rapid Pvst+?

32768
If all switches are configured with the default priority (32768), the switch with the lowest MAC address in the VLAN becomes the root bridge.
