I have a couple of C1000-8FP-2G-L's. My PS5 is plugged into one of them. When plugged a device in / turning the PS5 on, it takes quite a while for the switch to connect the device / allow the device connectivity. On my PS5, I even have to disable the network and re-enable it for the network to work. I'm assuming cos it times out or something. According to Google Spanning Tree could be the thing that causes devices to take a while to connect when plugged in / turned on? Is this true?

Yes, that's correct.
On Cisco switches, that issues is usually mitigated by insuring edge device ports are configured with portfast,
From my browser's AI summary:
To configure PortFast on a Cisco switch, you can use the following commands:
Enter global configuration mode:
Device# configure terminal
Specify the interface to configure and enter interface configuration mode:
Device(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/1
Enable PortFast on the specified interface:
Device(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast
Exit configuration mode:
Device(config-if)# end
Alternatively, you can enable PortFast globally across the entire switch:
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# spanning-tree portfast default
This command enables PortFast on all non-trunking interfaces by default. However, you should disable PortFast explicitly on switched ports leading to hubs, switches, and bridges to avoid potential spanning tree loops.
To verify the configuration, use the show running-config
command:
Device# show running-config
This will display the current configuration, including any PortFast settings.

Hi , @nebbit32
Yes @Joseph W. Doherty is right - you need to check STP / and you can config port as /
spanning-tree portfast
Thanks!
