My clients connects slowly to my cisco switch

Take a look at the spanning-tree portfast option on your interfaces.

You'll find that the switch doesnt enable the port (to a green light) for about 30 seconds while it gathers information about what is connected (it has orange light during this phase)

HTH....M

Do I need to enter the: no spanning-tree portfast command on the interfeces?

On ports connected to PCs you should use:-

spanning-tree portfast

There are other optimisations that you can use too but I don't bother since the benefit is smaller.

switchport mode access ! prevents trunk negotiation

This document is a bit old but explains the principles.

Finally you should consider enabling bpduguard on ports with portfast enabled.

In many environments this is not an issue, our users only re-boot their PCs, well never ideally:-)

Try

"set port mode host" (or set port host - long time since i did this) this is a macro which alters 3 different settings to get a port to come up as fast as possible.
