fastfwd disable|enable
Disables or enables Port Fast Forwarding, which permits a port that participates in Spanning
Tree to bypass the Listening and Learning states and enter directly into the Forwarding state.
While in the Forwarding state, the port listens to the BPDUs to learn if there is a loop and, if
dictated by normal STG behavior (following priorities, etc.), the port transitions into the
Blocking state. This feature permits the switch to interoperate well within Rapid Spanning
Tree networks.
ena
Enables the port.
