SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST

Syntax

spanning-tree portfast

Parameters

None

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to designate an edge port on the switch. Edge ports
are not connected to spanning tree devices or to LANs that have spanning
tree devices. As a consequence, edge ports do not receive BPDUs. If an
edge port starts to receive BPDUs, it is no longer considered to be an
edge port.

This command is used in conjunction with the SPANNING-TREE
PORTFAST BPDU-GUARD command.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW SPANNING-TREE” on page 784

Example

This example configures port 17 as an edge port:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.17
awplus(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast
