Description
The command enables the BackboneFast feature, which should be enabled on all routers that contain an Ethernet switch network module. BackboneFast provides quicker convergence on the network backbone after a spanning-tree topology change by enabling the switch to detect an indirect link failure and to start the spanning-tree calculation faster than the normal spanning-tree rules would allow.
