Configuring Fast Start Mode

Fast Start mode causes ports to begin forwarding traffic without

waiting for the spanning tree negotiation to complete. You may

want to set a port to Fast Start mode in the following examples:

End-station ports that do not need to participate in the full

spanning tree negotiation

Loop-free topologies that do not need spanning tree protocol to

resolve redundant connections

Endstations that require immediate forwarding of traffic in

order to receive configuration information, such as IPX clients or

DHCP clients.

You can configure Fast Start mode using either the Web Agent or

To enable Fast Start mode for ports on a module associated with a

selected bridge using the Web Agent:

1. Select Configuration from the Modules & Ports group on

the Web Agent window. The Module Information window

opens (Figure 5-1).

2. Select the switch port number listed for that module from the

Switch Ports column. The Switch Ports dialog box opens

(Figure 5-7).
