If you are using a 2950 or 3550 switch, issue the command ‘switchport mode access’ to

On the connecting interface/port, issue the command ‘set port speed __/__ 100’ (fill in first

5.
On the connecting interface/port, issue the command ‘set port duplex __/__ full’ (fill in first

Note
Cisco switches running CatOS 5.2 and newer have a special macro command called ‘set
port host __/__‘ that sets the interface/port for portfast, disables trunking, and disables
EtherChannel. You will still have to manually set the speed/duplex for the port(s), however.

1900-series switch have portfast enabled by default on the 10mbps ports and disabled on the
100 Mbps ports. If you are using the 100mbps ports to connect to a SonicWALL device, issue
the command ‘spantree start-forwarding’, which will greatly reduce the time STP is performed
on the interface/port.
