QuestionQ578

Network Access

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

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

PortFast is designed for Layer 2 edge ports that connect to end devices, and Cisco switches allow spanning-tree portfast directly on access ports. Trunk ports require separate trunk-specific PortFast configuration, while Layer 3 interfaces and subinterfaces are not normal STP switchport access interfaces. Therefore, the port type that supports the command without extra configuration is an access port.
