Hi

PVST = Per vlan spanning tree ie. each vlan runs it's own instance of spanning-tree.

PVST was developed by Cisco to work with ISL trunking.

PVST+ was then developed for interoperability with IEEE 802.1q.

The difference between PVST & RPVST is that with PVST each vlan is still running original 802.1d STP, so approx 50 seconds when a link goes to bringing a backup link into play.

You configure RPVST by the command you have used in your post

spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
