I think it uses fastpath on bridges in CRS, but I'm not 100 percent on that.

My needs are actually pretty simple with this switch, but I do need it to move a few hundred megs. If bridging turns out to not be fast enough, and RSTP isn't available as a switch, then do I have any fallback option? Port isloation? VLAN's? I feel like a simple job just became a hard one.
