When UplinkFast is enabled, the switch priority of all VLANs is set to 49152. If you change the path
cost to a value less than 3000 and you enable UplinkFast or UplinkFast is already enabled, the path cost
of all interfaces and VLAN trunks is increased by 3000 (if you change the path cost to 3000 or above,
the path cost is not altered). The changes to the switch priority and the path cost reduce the chance that
a switch will become the root switch.

Enabling Cross-Stack UplinkFast
When you enable or disable the UplinkFast feature by using the spanning-tree uplinkfast global
configuration command, CSUF is automatically globally enabled or disabled on nonstack port
interfaces.
