RSTP outtage times?
RSTP outtage times?
(OP)
Hi, Im going to try enabling RSTP on some HP 2800 series switches soon and would like to know the real world outtage time. How long at the switches usually down? If I enable it on one switch will all my switches go down or just devices connected to that one switch? Any tips or suggestions for a spanning tree newbie? Thanks.

Can you also tell me when in this process do I plug in my redundant connections? For instance, do I plug them in before enabling RSTP (and risking loops) or only after all switches have RSTP enabled?
As far as "end stations" goes, do you mean the client computers plugged into these switches or something else?

End stations are anything that is not another switch/hub

Can I enable spanning tree via the console on the new ones and then connect them to my network? If so can I just enable spanning tree on my two existing switches, deal with the two six-second delays, and be done with it or will I need to plug them in with spanning tree off and enable spanning tree once per switch and deal with 6 6 second delays?
