gsESwitchPortFastStart
Module: GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB
OID (symbolic): GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsESwitchPortFastStart
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.5.2.1.1.17
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: When this object is set to enable(1), bridge ports on this switch port transitions right from blocking to forwarding, skipping the listening and learning states. The user should be warned that using the fast start feature greatly increases the likelihood of unintended network loops that would otherwise be prevented by participating in the normal spanning tree algorithm.
The factory default value for this object is disable(2).
What is gsESwitchPortFastStart?
Enables STP fast-start on this switch port (and all its bridge ports), letting them jump straight from Blocking to Forwarding and skip Listening/Learning; this is the current, non-deprecated replacement for gsEBridgePortFastStart. It significantly raises the risk of accidental network loops, so the factory default is disable(2), and admins enable it only on a port they're certain can never form a loop, like a single-host access port needing fast link-up (e.g. for PXE boot).
