Enabling UplinkFast for Use with Redundant Links
When you enable UplinkFast, it affects all VLANs on the switch or switch stack. You cannot configure
UplinkFast on an individual VLAN.
Note
You can configure the UplinkFast or the Cross-Stack UplinkFast (CSUF) feature for Rapid PVST+ or for the
MSTP, but the feature remains disabled (inactive) until you change the spanning-tree mode to PVST+.
This procedure is optional. Follow these steps to enable UplinkFast and CSUF.
Before You Begin
UplinkFast cannot be enabled on VLANs that have been configured with a switch priority. To enable UplinkFast
on a VLAN with switch priority configured, first restore the switch priority on the VLAN to the default value
using the
no spanning-tree vlan vlan-id priority
global configuration command.
