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.
