- PortFast doesnt disable STP on edge ports.
- Only put in blocked state
- Only send BPDU, doesnt recive BPDU
- Edge ports not subject to forward delay
- Not generate TCN (so no flush of CAM table, it cuts down the unknown unicast flooding in network)
- spanning-tree portfast default
- if enable portfast globally, every access port interfaces become portfast enabled port but not on trunk links
- some times there is a situation, enable portfast on trunk links also
- at that time use spanning-tree portfast trunk cmd used.
- If portfast enabled globally, when access port receive bpdu, it losses the portfast state and complete the listening & learning states then go to forwarding state
- But if portfast enable at interface level, port will remain in portfast state regardless of bpdu receive.
- show spanning-tree int e0/0 portfast
