You can get all the Cisco MIBs from:
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/v2.tar.gz

You didn't say what kind of switch; hopefully at least one of these will
work for you.

CISCO-STACK-MIB

        MAX-ACCESS    read-write

        DESCRIPTION   "Indicates whether the port is operating in
                      spantree fast start mode. A port with fast start
                      enabled is immediately put in spanning tree
                      forwarding state on link up, rather than starting
                      in blocking state which is the normal operation.
                      This is useful when the port is known to be
                      connected to a single station which has problems
                      waiting for the normal spanning tree operation to
                      put the port in forwarding state.
