I like to connect my Catalyst 3560 and Catalyst 2960 Switches and need to configure related ports in order to prevent loop.
I know how to configure STP but dont know how to configure ports to run RSTP ...

There's not a lot to it really. On your switches
switch(config)# spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
That's about it really. You don't need uplinkfast or backbonefast as these are incorporated into RSTP and the rest of the setup is the same as 802.1d.

thanx jon it was really helpful
but I shoul enter this command under the interface not on global mode right?

No this should be entered under global. Spanning-tree portfast is still used under RSTP so you can configure portfast at the interface level buit the spanning-tree mode at global level.
