Parameter

Default

Description

FastForwarding

ENABLED

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.
