Configure Working Mode of a Spanning Tree

The working mode of a spanning tree determines the mode in which devices run and determines the encapsulation format of BPDU packets that are sent out. If a port that works in the MSTP mode is found to be connected to a device that runs RSTP, the port automatically migrates to the RSTP mode. If a port that works in the MSTP mode or MSTP mode is found to be connected to a device that runs STP, the port automatically migrates to the STP compatible mode.
