STP Port Settings To assign STP properties to individual ports: 1 Click Switching > Spanning Tree > STP Port Settings in the tree view to display the STP Port Settings: Summary page. Figure 13-2. STP Port Settings: Summary The ports and their STP settings are displayed. 2 To modify STP settings on a port, click Edit. 3 Select the port, and enter the fields: - STP - Enable/disable STP on the port. - Fast Link - Check to enable Fast Link mode for the port. If this is enabled, the Port State is automatically placed in the Forwarding state when the port is up. Fast Link mode optimizes the time it takes for the STP protocol to converge. STP convergence can take 30-60 seconds in large networks. 436 Dell PowerConnect 55xx Systems User Guide
