Usage Guidelines
The BackboneFast feature is supported only when the switch is running per-VLAN spanning-tree plus
(PVST+). It is not supported when the switch is operating in the rapid-PVST+ or multiple spanning-tree
(MST) mode.
BackboneFast starts when a root port or blocked port on a switch receives inferior BPDUs from its
designated switch. An inferior BPDU identifies a switch that declares itself as both the root bridge and
the designated switch. When a switch receives an inferior BPDU, it means that a link to which the switch
is not directly connected (an indirect link) has failed (that is, the designated switch has lost its connection
to the root switch. If there are alternate paths to the root switch, BackboneFast causes the maximum
aging time on the interfaces on which it received the inferior BPDU to expire and allows a blocked port
to move immediately to the listening state. BackboneFast then transitions the interface to the forwarding
state. For more information, refer to the software configuration guide for this release.
Enable BackboneFast on all supported switches to allow the detection of indirect link failures and to start
the spanning-tree reconfiguration sooner.
Examples
This example shows how to enable BackboneFast on the switch:
Switch(config)# spanning-tree backbonefast
You can verify your setting by entering the show spanning-tree summary privileged EXEC command.
