Configuring Fast Start Mode

Fast Start mode causes ports to begin forwarding traffic without waiting for the spanning
tree negotiation to complete.
Examples of situations where you may want to set a port to Fast Start mode are:
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
To enable Fast Start for ports on a module associated with a selected bridge:
1. In the System Configuration section of the Web Agent window, click Modules
& Ports. The Module Information dialog box opens.
2. In the Switch Ports column, click on the switch port number listed for the
selected module. The Switch Ports dialog box opens.

Table 3-12. Example 2. Trunk to 3Com SuperStack
Recommended Setting
Default - This parameter is ignored when using 3Com
VLANs.
3Com - Allows the switch to read the incoming VLAN tags.
Static - This parameter is ignored when using 3Com VLANs.
Disable - This parameter is ignored when using 3Com VLANs.
Table 3-13. Example 3. Trunk to Bay Networks System 5000
Recommended Setting
Default - Causes untagged packets to be assigned to the
default VLAN.
IEEE-802.1Q - Causes the port to send frames using the
IEEE-802.1Q format. This assumes that you have configured
the Bay Networks switch to use IEEE-802.1Q VLAN tagging as
well.
Bind to All - Binds the port to all VLANs known to the
switch.
Enable - Causes the switch to learn new VLAN IDs that arrive
at the port, and then bind the port to these VLANs.
