STP Enabled on the Switch

Fast-Uplink

STP Configured on Port 1 and Trunk 1 (Trk1)

Figure 5-23. Example of a Configuration Supporting the STP Topology Shown in Figure 5-21

Using the CLI To Configure Fast-Uplink STP. This example uses the CLI to configure the switch for the fast-uplink operation shown in figures 5­ 21, 5-22, and 5-23. (The example assumes that ports A2 and A3 are already configured as members of the port trunk—Trk1, and all other STP parameters are left in their default state.)

(802.1D) Protocol Version before you can configure Fast-Uplink. For example:
