Set portfast on any ports connecting to workstations..this will greatly improve the negotiation time when the station is coming up. Just do not set port fast on ports connecting to hubs or switches as it does not check for loops via spanning tree

Subject: Portfast ???
I'm swapping out a 2900XL with a 2924C XL to give us Fiber capability. Since
we have customers on the current switch I want to keep down time to a
minimum. One suggestion has been to, on the new switch put it into portfast
mode.
Has anyone done this before? Are there any problems you encountered or
things I should be aware of?
Just a quick note today....
Thanks for any input.
