UplinkFast Example Before Direct Link Failure
If Switch C detects a link failure on the currently active link L2 on the root port (a direct link failure), 
UplinkFast unblocks the blocked interface on Switch C and transitions it to the forwarding state without 
going through the listening and learning states, as shown in 
approximately 1 to 5 seconds.

UplinkFast Example After Direct Link Failure
Understanding BackboneFast
BackboneFast detects indirect failures in the core of the backbone. BackboneFast is a complementary 
technology to the UplinkFast feature, which responds to failures on links directly connected to access 
switches. BackboneFast optimizes the maximum-age timer, which controls the amount of time the 
switch stores protocol information received on an interface. When a switch receives an inferior BPDU 
from the designated port of another switch, the BPDU is a signal that the other switch might have lost 
its path to the root, and BackboneFast tries to find an alternate path to the root.
BackboneFast, which is enabled by using the spanning-tree backbonefast global configuration 
command, starts when a root port or blocked interface on a switch receives inferior BPDUs from its 
designated switch. An inferior BPDU identifies a switch that declares itself as both the root bridge and 
the designated switch. When a switch receives an inferior BPDU, it means that a link to which the switch 
is not directly connected (an indirect link) has failed (that is, the designated switch has lost its 
connection to the root switch). Under spanning-tree rules, the switch ignores inferior BPDUs for the 
configured maximum aging time specified by the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id max-age global 
configuration command.
