Hi! Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions! Apparently, it works if I turn *off* spanning-tree on the child switch, leaving the parent switch configured with RSTP. I'm not sure why, not what deleterious side effects I've just introduced, sadly. But at least everything seems to be working so far.
Is "portfast" the same thing as "edge port"? If so, I may go over again and look more closely at those settings.
