Spanning tree is a network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology [0]. You should keep it enabled for ports that connect switches to each other. Usually it is save to use "PortFast" for ports that clients are connected to only. But again, read the documentation and do not blame me if anything breaks. ;) [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Chris get my mail address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}
