The STP LAG Settings page contains the following fields:
• Select a LAG—Indicates the user-defined LAG. For more information on defining
LAGs, see "Defining LAG
• STP—Enables STP on the LAG. The possible field values are:
– Enable—Enables STP on the LAG.
– Disable—Disables STP on the LAG.
• Fast Link—Enables Fast Link for the LAG. If Fast Link is enabled for a LAG, the LAG
is automatically placed in the Forwarding State. Fast Link optimizes the time it takes
for the STP protocol to converge (STP convergence can take 30-60 seconds in large
networks).
NOTE: Use the Fast Link option only in appropriate cases; for example, when the device is a
leaf in the STP network topology for end stations.
• LAG State—Indicates the current STP state for a LAG. If enabled, the LAG State
determines what forwarding action is taken on traffic. If the bridge discovers a
malfunctioning LAG, the LAG is placed in the Disabled state. The possible field
values are:
– Disabled—The link is currently down.
