SMC Networks SMC8606T manual FastForwarding

CONSOLE INTERFACE
Parameter	Default	Description
FastForwarding	DISABLED	This parameter is used to enable/
		disable 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.
