15. Define the following PortFast parameters for the port channel’s MSTP configuration:

Enable PortFast

PortFast reduces the time required for a port to complete a MSTP state change from Blocked to
Forward. PortFast must only be enabled on ports on the wireless controller directly connected to a
server/workstation and not another hub or controller. PortFast can be left unconfigured on an
access point.
Select this option to enable drop-down menus for both the Enable PortFast BPDU Filter and Enable
PortFast BPDU Guard
options. This setting is disabled by default.

PortFast BPDU Filter

Select Enable to invoke a BPDU filter for this PortFast enabled port channel. Enabling the BPDU
filter feature ensures this port channel does not transmit or receive any BPDUs. The default setting
is None.

PortFast BPDU Guard

Select Enable to invoke a BPDU guard for this PortFast enabled port channel. Enabling the BPDU
Guard feature means this port will shutdown on receiving a BPDU. Thus, no BPDUs are processed.
The default setting is None.
