spanning-tree uplinkfast
Use the spanning-tree uplinkfast global configuration command to accelerate the choice of a new root
port when a link or switch fails or when the spanning tree reconfigures itself. Use the no form of this
command to return to the default setting.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command only on access switches.
You can configure the UplinkFast feature for rapid PVST+ or for multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode,
but the feature remains disabled (inactive) until you change the spanning-tree mode to PVST+.
When you enable UplinkFast, it is enabled for the entire switch and cannot be enabled for individual
VLANs.
When UplinkFast is enabled, the switch priority of all VLANs is set to 49152. If you change the path
cost to a value less than 3000 and you enable UplinkFast or UplinkFast is already enabled, the path cost
of all interfaces and VLAN trunks is increased by 3000 (if you change the path cost to 3000 or above,
the path cost is not altered). The changes to the switch priority and the path cost reduces the chance that
a switch will become the root switch.
When UplinkFast is disabled, the switch priorities of all VLANs and path costs of all interfaces are set
to default values if you did not modify them from their defaults.
When spanning tree detects that the root port has failed, UplinkFast immediately changes to an alternate
root port, changing the new root port directly to forwarding state. During this time, a topology change
notification is sent.
