Restriction for Optional Spanning-Tree Features
• PortFast minimizes the time that interfaces must wait for spanning tree to converge, so it is effective
only when used on interfaces connected to end stations. If you enable PortFast on an interface connecting
to another switch, you risk creating a spanning-tree loop.
