Parameters
Using the CLI
To configure Non-VLAN switch port parameters using the CLI, enter

Refer to the Cajun P500/P880/P882 Switch Command Line Interface
Reference Guide for more details about this command.
Configuring Fast Start Mode
Fast Start mode causes ports to begin forwarding traffic without
waiting for the spanning tree negotiation to complete. You may
want to set a port to Fast Start mode in the following examples:
■ End-station ports that do not need to participate in the full
spanning tree negotiation
■ Loop-free topologies that do not need spanning tree protocol to
resolve redundant connections
■ Endstations that require immediate forwarding of traffic in order
to receive configuration information, such as IPX clients or
DHCP clients.
You can configure Fast Start mode using either the web agent or the
CLI.

Parameter Recommended Setting
Port VLAN Default - Causes untagged packets to be assigned to
the default VLAN.
Trunk Mode IEEE-802.1Q - Causes the port to send frames using
the IEEE-802.1Q format. This assumes that you
have configured the Bay Networks switch to use
IEEE-802.1Q VLAN tagging as well.
VLAN Binding Bind to All - Binds the port to all VLANs known to
the switch.
Automatic
VLAN Creation
Enable - Causes the switch to learn new VLAN IDs
that arrive at the port, and then binds the port to
these VLANs.
