Configuring Fast
Start Mode Fast Start mode causes ports to begin forwarding traffic without
waiting for the spanning tree negotiation to complete. Examples of
situations where you may want to set a port to Fast Start mode are:
■
End-station ports that do not need to participate in the full
spanning tree negotiation
■
Loop-free topologies that do not need spanning tree protocol
to resolve redundant connections
Table 17. Example 2. Trunk to 3Com SuperStack
TM
Parameter Recommended Setting
Port VLAN Default - This parameter is ignored when
using 3Com VLANs.
Trunk Mode 3Com - Allows the switch to read the
incoming VLAN tags.
VLAN Binding Static - This parameter is ignored when
using 3Com VLANs.
Automatic
VLAN Creation Disable - This parameter is ignored when
using 3Com VLANs.
Table 18. Example 3. Trunk to Bay Networks System 5000
TM
Parameter Recommended Setting
Port VLAN Default - Causes untagged packets to be
assigned to the default VLAN.
Trunk Mode IEEE-802.1Q - Causes the port to send frames
using the IEEE-802.1Q format. This assumes
that you have configured the Bay Networks
switch to use IEEE-802.1Q VLAN tagging as
well.
VLAN Binding Bind to All - Binds the port to all VLANs
known to the switch.
Automatic
VLAN Creation Enable - Causes the switch to learn new VLAN
IDs that arrive at the port, and then bind the
port to these VLANs.
