Port Fast

[lengoo]

Hi all
I want to enable port fast on every port.. is there a quick way to do this? Else I'll have to configure each one via the web interface.

You need to tell us what kind of switch you are talking about don't have my psychic hat on tonight .

I usually use the web interface, it's faster, else you have to create a file like:

conf t
int faste0/1
spanning-tree portfast
exit
int faste0/2
etc
etc
etc
And cut and paste it on the switch, So it's easier to go via the web !!!!

Hi

Try using the interface range command to specify multiple interfaces in global config mode:

interface range type module/first-number - last-number

So it goes

Switch>
en
Switch#conf t
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet/1 - 24
Switch(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast

...or whatever. This applies to current IOS-based switches including the 3350, I would assume it applies to 3500 XL, but I don't have one to try it on.

Many thanks, I'll give this a go

range command is not available on the 3500XL's


so best you can do is go into each port and do it manually, or copy the config out to word and do some manipulation that way.

It really doesn't take that long to do each port , just make your change on the first port and then just use your up arrow key and change the last number on the port when it comes up for the next port and so on and so forth . If you do it right it should take more than 2 minutes to do the whole switch .
