On the Dell you would select 'fast connect', 'fast forward' for your
 client access ports.
The name may be dependant on the model number.
On a Cisco you would select 'spanning tree port-fast' for your
client access ports.

Most cheap unmanaged switches won't have STP, and the port will just
come up immediately.
That would be a feature for avoiding bridging loops, not technically
a security feature.

"Port security" is a different technology; plain port security is
about limiting access
to a port to certain MAC addresses, or a certain number of MAC
addresses that will be
memorized; 802.1x port security is a wired access authentication scheme.
Those two won't be enabled by default; Dell's not quite that wild.
