Figure 2-25. Spanning Tree Information
Description
This parameter is used to enable/disabled the
Fast Spanning Tree mode for the port. In this
mode, ports skip the Blocked, Listening and
Learning states and proceed straight to
Forwarding.
FastForwarding enables end-node workstations
and servers to overcome time-out problems when
the Spanning Tree Algorithm is implemented in a
network. Therefore, FastForwarding should only
be enabled for ports that are connected to an end-
node device.
