QuestionQ553

Network Access

Which port type allows the spanning-tree portfast command without any additional configuration?

  • A Layer 3 main interfaces
  • B Layer 3 subinterfaces
  • C trunk ports
  • D access ports
Explanation

The spanning-tree portfast command is the standard form used on Layer 2 access ports, where STP can immediately transition the port to forwarding for end-host connectivity. Trunk ports require a different explicit configuration (spanning-tree portfast trunk), and Layer 3 interfaces do not operate as STP switchports. Therefore, only access ports support the command in its basic form without extra configuration.
