Rapid Spanning tree

kenny504

My 2950 does not have the option to enable rapid spanning tree. I think Jeremy used a 2950 in his example on the cbt's i watched.

My IOS version is 12.1 do i need an upgrade to enable rpvst ?

or did i hear jeremy wrong?

Probably -- hard to tell without the actual version:

System image file is "flash:/c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-22.EA4.bin"

S2950-2(config)#spanning-tree mode ?
  mst         Multiple spanning tree mode
  pvst        Per-Vlan spanning tree mode
  rapid-pvst  Per-Vlan rapid spanning tree mode

S2950-2(config)#spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
S2950-2(config)#
