What occurs when PortFast is enabled on an interface that is connected to another switch?

  • A. Root port choice and spanning-tree recalculation are accelerated when a switch link goes down.
  • B. After spanning-tree converges, PortFast shuts down any port that receives BPDUs.
  • C. VTP is allowed to propagate VLAN configuration information from switch to switch automatically.

Because the purpose of PortFast is to minimize the time that ports must wait for spanning tree to converge, you should use it only on ports that no other switch is connected to, like access ports for connecting user equipment and servers or on trunk ports when connecting to a router in a router on a stick configuration. If you enable PortFast on a port that is connecting to another switch, you risk creating a spanning tree loop, or with the BPDU guard feature enabled the port will transition in errdisable.

B is correct. When PortFast is enabled on an interface that is connected to another switch, the primary effect is that PortFast shuts down any port that receives Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). BPDUs are messages exchanged between switches to establish and maintain a loop-free topology using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

Only when BPDU Guard is configured so D would be correct

I think this is B. The port will go in error disbaled state when receiving PBDU messages

1 day later and a little wiser then yesterday I can tell that I was wrong. BPDU Guard needs to be enabled for that, which is not te case. So answer D is correct
