Hi,
We are a small company, with a few Dell switches (5324, 5448 & 5548). These were installed a long time ago by previous IT staff and without any setup, just powered up and stuff plugged into it.
There is a mix of servers, endpoints and smaller switches plugged in. I have recently gained access to the WebUI on these switches after creating a management IP address etc.
I noticed on the STP Port settings page, that all ports had 'Fast Link' disabled. I have enabled this for all ports which have an endpoint device plugged in, to speed up network access, which was preventing some GPO's being applied.
Having looked at the other settings on this page and others, I'm wondering what the best practices are for ports which have endpoints configured.
Should I disable STP altogether on these ports, or is enabling 'fast link' enough?
What are the suggested best practices for ports for endpoints?
Thanks
