Fastlink in STP mode. If a client is trying to access a server through the switch running the STP 
negotiation, it will not be able to connect to it immediately.  This can be a problem for some 
networks.  Fastlink mode solves this problem by setting the port to direct forwarding mode, thus 
allowing any server access request to be forwarded.   Fastlink mode can cause temporary loops in 
your network, but STP will find and eliminate them.  Fastlink is best used on end node ports, i.e. 
ports connected to PCs or servers, and not on uplink ports to other switches.

There are two advanced MAC setup configurations options:

Prty (Priority)

0-255

STP uses this to determine which path (which port) to use for 
forwarding. The port with the lowest number has the highest priority.

Cost

1-65535

The switch uses this to determine which port is the forwarding port 
when the priority is equal.  All other factors equal, the path with the 
lowest cost to the root bridge will be the active path.  The estimated 
path cost is the industry standard for the port speed.  The default path 
cost is the maximum speed for the port.

Fastlink

Enabled or 
Disabled

When a Fastlink enabled port running standard STP is 

connected, it will go through the STP negotiation (listening -> 

learning -> forwarding or blocking) before it will be fully 

available.
