Uplink fast convergence

Uplink fast convergence enables a WSS that has redundant links to the network core to immediately change the state of
a backup link to forwarding if the primary link to the root fails. Uplink fast convergence bypasses the listening and
learning states to immediately enter the forwarding state.
Note.
The uplink fast convergence feature is applicable to bridges that are acting as
access switches to the network core (distribution layer) but are not in the core themselves.
Do not enable the feature on WSS switches that are in the network core.
