Among other wisdom, the OS10 User Guide for 10.6 says:
Most of the PXE clients do not support switching before a PXE boot. As a result, data loops do not form between the SmartFabric OS10 nodes and PXE clients on or before PXE boot process. For such cases, Dell Technologies recommends enabling port-fast on the LACP individual LAG that connects to the PXE client
However, it doesn't say HOW and I can't find the named option on my S5232F-ON running 10.6. I'm being dumb, does anyone know how to turn it on, please? I'm using RSTP.
bpdufilter BPDU filter on the interface bpduguard BPDU guard on the interface disable Disable stp on the interface guard Guard type Loop or Root or None link-type Detemine link type based on media duplex of this interface msti Spanning Tree Subsystem port Set port type rapid-pvst Spanning Tree Rapid-pvst Subsystem rstp Set rstp parameters for interface vlan Select vlan range option
Bingo, thanks Marco - that document tells me that `spanning-tree port type edge` on OS10 achieves the equivalent job of `spanning-tree portfast` on OS9.
Could the OS10 documentation be updated, please? Pages 558, 563 and 567 in Dell SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.6.0 all refer to enabling port-fast, when presumably they should be recommending changing the port type to edge.
