Refer to the PortFast field to define the following:
Enable PortFast PortFast reduces the time taken for a port to complete STP. PortFast must only be enabled on
ports on the wireless controller which are directly connected to a server/workstation and not to
another hub or controller. PortFast can be left unconfigured on the 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.
Enable PortFast BPDU Filter MSTP BPDUs are messages exchanged when controllers gather information about the network
topology during STP scan. When enabled, PortFast enabled ports do not transmit or receive
BPDU messages. 'Default' sets the PortFast BPDU Filter value to the bridge's BPDU filter value.
Select Enable to invoke a BPDU filter for this PortFast enabled port channel.
Enable PortFast BPDU Guard When enabled, PortFast enabled ports are forced to shut down when they receive BPDU
messages. When set to Default sets the PortFast BPDU Guard value to the bridge's BPDU guard
value.
