They show pictures in Clause 17. A backup port connects to a true
redundant link between two switches. That's the easiest fix. If the
two switches are still good, but the link between them goes bad, going
quickly to the backup link is very simple.

Alternate links do change the spanning tree, but there are tricks you
can use to prevent loops when going to an alternate link. For
instance, only choosing an alternate that leads away from the root
node.

Thanks Albert.
=46rom all switches power up to stable stage ( assume every switch power
up same time), Do STP and RSTP use same time or RSTP faster than
STP?
I think no difference for this stage. it has to select root first
then ...
RSTP faster than STP only when link failed and then recoved back case.
right?
TIA

RSTP is even more efficient from powerup. RSTP assigns only three
states to each switch, compared with five states for STP.

Thanks,
after rstp enable, It stay in discard stage. Does it take how long go
to
learning stage and send/receive BPDU during the discard stage?

RSTP can very quickly jump from discard to forwarding, if it receives
the appropriate BPDU from another switch. Two switches can propose and
agree with one another, without having to wait, listen, and learn.
